Focused, hands-on problems for sharpening your DevOps and server-side skills. Some teach specific concepts while others mirror real-world scenarios. Every challenge includes hints, feedback, and automated solution checks.
A Deployment is running in the platform namespace with 3 replicas. Each pod has configuration files at /app/config/. Copy those files to /home/laborant/config/ on the local machine.
A Job manifest at /home/laborant/batch-job.yaml is exiting with a non-zero exit status. The Job has limited retries configured. Inspect the cluster and the manifest to find the bug, fix it, and reapply.
A helper script that lists every container image running in the cluster — along with its on-disk size and the workload that uses it — has been downloaded to cplane-01. Install it as a kubectl plugin named kubectl-images so that kubectl images works from any directory.
