💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Trying to get logs from deployment or service names.

Logs are retrieved from pods, so you must specify the pod name.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a pod spec snippet that sets the image pull policy to always try pulling the image.

Kubernetes

containers:
- name: app
  image: myapp:latest
  imagePullPolicy: [1]
restartPolicy: [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AAlways

BNever

CIfNotPresent

DOnFailure

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'Never' for imagePullPolicy causes no image pulling.

Always forces Kubernetes to pull the image every time. OnFailure restarts the pod only if it fails.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a command that pulls a private image using a secret.

Kubernetes

kubectl create secret docker-registry [1] --docker-server=myregistry.com --docker-username=[2] --docker-password=[3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Common Mistakes

Using app name instead of secret name.

This command creates a secret named myregistrykey with the given username and password to pull private images.
