  1. Challenge

    Publish an Application Internally within the Cluster Network

    There is a deployment called desert-terrapin in the default Namespace that needs to be exposed within the cluster network. The relevant Pods listen on port 80 and have the label app=desert-terrapin. Expose the Service on port 80 as well.

    Create the appropriate Service with the name desert-terrapin-svc.

  2. Challenge

    Use a Service to Publish an Application Externally

    The sea-turtle deployment in the default Namespace needs to be exposed to users outside the cluster.

    The application's Pods listen on port 80 and all have the label app=sea-turtle. Use port 30080 on all of the cluster nodes to make the Service available outside the cluster. (Hint: You can specify the external port using the nodePort field.)

    Create the appropriate Service with the name sea-turtle-svc.
