Node fleet, mission 3 of 8
It doesn't fit
intermediate, about 8 minutes, in the Kubernetes Simulator
Start mission
Opens once you pass Reserved seating.
The briefing
The render farm asked for 6 workers, each requesting 5 CPUs. Four are running. Two have been Pending all morning.
The scheduler places a pod only where its *requests* fit in what the node has left — kubectl describe node shows Allocatable and Allocated resources. Each worker here has 12 CPUs, and kind's own pods already use a little.
What you'll do
- Find out why two pods can't be placed
- All 6 render pods running, each still requesting at least 1 CPU
- Bonus star: Read a node's Allocated resources with kubectl describe node
The mission checks the cluster, not your keystrokes: any fix that works, passes.
