Challenge, Easy,  on  Kubernetes

Provision and configure a PersistentVolume (PV) and PersistentVolumeClaim (PVC) for deployment.

Scenario

You need to set up persistent storage for a project in the jupiter namespace. This involves creating a PersistentVolume with hostPath storage, binding it to a PersistentVolumeClaim, and using it in a Deployment.

📋 Tasks

Task 1: Create PersistentVolume

Create a PersistentVolume called jupiter-project-jupiter-pv with:

  • Capacity: 1Gi
  • Access mode: ReadWriteOnce
  • HostPath: /Volumes/Data
  • No storageClassName (must not have a storageClassName set)

Task 2: Create PersistentVolumeClaim

In the namespace jupiter, create a PersistentVolumeClaim called jupiter-project-jupiter-pvc with:

  • Requested storage: 1Gi
  • Access mode: ReadWriteOnce
  • No storageClassName (must not specify a storageClassName)
  • Ensure the PVC is bound to the PV

Task 3: Create Deployment

In the namespace jupiter, create a Deployment called project-jupiter with:

  • Image: httpd:alpine
  • Mount the PVC jupiter-project-jupiter-pvc at /tmp

💡 Test Cases

How to Author Challenges on iximiuz Labs

Instead of providing a subpar online editing experience, iximiuz Labs offers a helper CLI tool called labctl, allowing you to use your favorite text editor (or a full-featured IDE) to write content from the comfort of your local machine.

Install labctl CLI

curl -sf https://labs.iximiuz.com/cli/install.sh | sh

This will download and install the latest version of the labctl CLI. You only need to do this once per workstation.

Authorize labctl

labctl auth login

This will open a browser window asking you to authorize labctl to access your account. You need to do it after a fresh install of labctl and repeat it whenever the auth session expires.

Pull challenge content

labctl content pull challenge provision-and-configure-pv-pvc-bba7ae94

This will create a local copy of the challenge content in a directory named provision-and-configure-pv-pvc-bba7ae94. You only need to do this once per challenge.

Stream your changes

labctl content push -fw challenge provision-and-configure-pv-pvc-bba7ae94

Run this command in a separate terminal to continuously upload your changes to the server while editing the challenge in your favorite text editor or IDE.

You can also use labctl to create, list, and delete your content. Learn more about the available commands: labctl content --help
