Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand ambassador forwarding behavior
The ambassador container listens on localhost:3306 and forwards requests to the MySQL container.Step 2: Predict connection result inside ambassador
Connecting to localhost:3306 inside ambassador reaches MySQL, so connection succeeds.Final Answer:
Connection to MySQL server succeeds -> Option CQuick Check:
Ambassador localhost connection = success [OK]
Quick Trick: Inside ambassador, localhost forwards to target container [OK]

- Expecting connection refused due to wrong port
- Assuming timeout without forwarding
- Thinking ambassador prints MySQL info locally
