💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pod, deployment, or service which create different resource types.

Misspelling the resource type.

The command creates a Kubernetes namespace, so the resource type is namespace.

Common Mistakes

Confusing repository name with owner.

Using branch or path as owner.

The --owner flag expects the GitHub user or organization name, here it should be my-org.

Fill both blanks to create a Flux Kustomization that applies manifests from the 'apps' directory every 5 minutes.

Kubernetes

apiVersion: kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
kind: Kustomization
metadata:
  name: apps
  namespace: flux-system
spec:
  interval: [1]
  path: [2]
  prune: true

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong time format or interval value.

Incorrect path to manifests directory.

The interval should be 5m for 5 minutes, and path should point to ./apps directory.

Fill all three blanks to define a Flux GitRepository resource connecting to a private repo with SSH authentication.

Kubernetes

apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
kind: GitRepository
metadata:
  name: flux-system
  namespace: flux-system
spec:
  interval: [1]
  url: [2]
  secretRef:
    name: [3]

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using HTTPS URL instead of SSH for private repo.

Wrong secret name or missing secretRef.

Incorrect interval format.

The interval is set to 1m for frequent sync, the url uses SSH format, and secretRef points to the SSH key secret flux-system-ssh.
