Focused, hands-on DevOps and server-side problems with hints, feedback, and automated solution checks.

Challenge

Guaranteed on Paper

A Pod has two containers, and each one sets requests equal to limits, the textbook recipe for Guaranteed. Yet the Pod is Burstable. Figure out why, and bring it to the Guaranteed QoS class.

Challenge

The Phantom Memory Limit

A multi-container Pod has one container stuck in CrashLoopBackOff. The Deployment sets a generous pod-level memory limit, yet raising it changes nothing. Find which container is dying, work out where its real limit comes from, and bring the whole Pod to a stable Running/Ready state.
