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.log

Use an emptyDir volume named logs, mounted at /var/log in both the wordpress and sidecar containers, to make the log file wordpress.log available to the co-located container. The volume must be named logs.

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

The public description lets you study the task before signing up. Full access includes this live lab; the selected Task of the Week is free with an account. 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). You can open the solution while practising, then retry and use the failed checks to improve your score.
