The task
Task
Update the existing wordpress Deployment in the wordpress-ns namespace, adding a sidecar container named sidecar using the busybox:stable image to the existing pod.
The new sidecar container has to run the following command:
/bin/sh -c tail -f /var/log/wordpress.logUse a volume mounted at /var/log to make the log file wordpress.log available to the co-located container.
What this tests
Run and schedule workloads — deployments, autoscaling, taints and tolerations, affinity, and resource limits. On the CKA exam, Workloads & Scheduling tasks are graded purely on what you build in the cluster — not multiple choice — so the only way to get faster is to do them on a real cluster against a clock.
Practice it for real
prepium.sh drops you into your own isolated Kubernetes cluster in the browser — no install, no credit card. You solve the task in a real terminal, hit validate, and a programmatic checker scores exactly what you got right and wrong (with partial credit). The canonical solution unlocks after you attempt it, so you learn the fast, exam-ready way to do it.
