Configure a Multi-container Pod with Kubernetes
In this lab, you’ll practice creating a multi container pod: one container running an HTTP server and another container logging the requests. You will set up the collaboration between both the containers in the Pod. When you have finished the challenges, you’ll have a multi container pod set up with two containers having a shared volume. You will be able to access the HTTP server and verify that the collaboration is set up between both the containers.
