  1. Challenge

    Create a Manifest for a Static Pod

    Create a manifest file to run the acgorg/beebox-diagnostic:1 image as a static pod. The lab cluster was built using kubeadm, and you can place manifest files in the default location for kubeadm clusters: /etc/kubernetes/manifests.

  2. Challenge

    Start Up the Static Pod

    Restart kubelet to load the static Pod configuration immediately. Then, check the K8s API to view your static pod's data. If you wish, you can attempt to delete the static pod with kubectl. However, this is a mirror Pod that will be immediately re-created, since static pods cannot be managed through the K8s API.
