  1. Challenge

    Perform a Rolling Update

    There is a Deployment in the hive Namespace called web-frontend.

    Update the image used in the Deployment's Pod to nginx:1.16.1.

  2. Challenge

    Perform a Blue/Green Deployment

    There is a Deployment in the hive Namespace called internal-api-blue.

    A Service called api-svc directs traffic to this Deployment's Pods.

    You can find a YAML manifest for the Deployment at /home/cloud_user/internal-api-blue.yml. Make a copy of this manifest at /home/cloud_user/internal-api-green.yml. Modify the manifest to create a green Deployment called internal-api-green. For the green Deployment, use the image linuxacademycontent/ckad-nginx:green.

    Update the Service to point only to the green Deployment's Pods.
