Creating a Manifest with the Kubernetes API

To manage your Kubernetes cluster properly and efficiently, you'll need to create and apply a range of API objects through one or more manifests. The Kubernetes API makes it possible to generate syntactically correct YAML through use of the `--dry-run` flag. In this hands-on lab, you'll experience that procedure and then verify the legitimacy of the generated code.
