Static website, mission 7 of 7

The 3am page

intermediate, about 12 minutes, in the Kubernetes Simulator

Start mission

Opens once you pass Ship v2.

The briefing

You're on call. web is running happily on nginx:1.28… for now. Something is about to change.

When a rollout goes wrong, don't guess. Find which pods are unhappy (kubectl get pods), then ask why: kubectl describe pod NAME ends with the pod's events, and the events usually say exactly what failed.

Two ways out: fix the image and roll forward, or kubectl rollout undo to go back to the last revision that worked.

What you'll do

  • Find out why the new pods won't start
  • Get web healthy: every pod running on an image that exists
  • Bonus star: Fix it with kubectl rollout undo

The mission checks the cluster, not your keystrokes: any fix that works, passes.
