Multiplayer game server, mission 5 of 7
Stranded
advanced, about 10 minutes, in the Kubernetes Simulator
Start mission
Opens once you pass Don't empty the arena.
The briefing
Two arena servers, each with its saves on a volume. Nothing's wrong — yet.
When a pod won't start, kubectl describe pod ends with the scheduler's reasons, node by node. Storage matters here: this cluster's standard volumes live on one node's disk, so a pod can only run where its volume is.
What you'll do
- Find out why arena-0 is Pending
- Both servers running again, arena-0 with its saves
- Bonus star: See which node the claim is tied to: kubectl describe pvc saves-arena-0
The mission checks the cluster, not your keystrokes: any fix that works, passes.
