Exam CKA Topic 4 Question 5 Discussion

See the solution below with Step by Step Explanation.
Explanation:
Solution (Step by Step) :
1. Update the Deployment YAML:
- Update the 'replicas' to 2.
- Define 'maxUnavailable: 1' and 'maxSurge: 0' in the 'strategy.rollingUpdate' section to control the rolling update process.
- Configure a 'strategy.type" to 'RollingUpdate" to trigger a rolling update when the deployment is updated.
- Add a 'spec.template.spec.resources' section to define resource requests for the pod.
- Set 'spec.template.spec.restartPolicy' to 'OnFailure' for the pod to restart when it fails.

2. Create the Deployment: - Apply the updated YAML file using 'kubectl apply -f web-app.yaml' 3. Verify the Deployment: - Check the status of the deployment using 'kubectl get deployments web-app' to confirm the rollout and updated replica count. 4. Trigger the Automatic Update: - Update the 'web-app' image in the Docker Hub repository. 5. Monitor the Deployment: - Use 'kubectl get pods -l app=web-app' to monitor the pod updates during the rolling update process. You will observe that one pod is terminated at a time, while one new pod with the updated image is created. 6. Handle Resource Exceedance: - If the pod's resource requests exceed the available resources, the pod will be evicted and restarted. The 'restartPolicy' ensures that the pod restarts automatically upon failure. 7. Check for Successful Update: - Once the deployment is complete, use 'kubectl describe deployment web-app' to see that the 'updatedReplicas' field matches the 'replicas' field, indicating a successful update.
