You need to expose the existing app “web-app” externally at:

Host: external.sterling-bengal.local

Path: / (and anything starting with /) ? route to web-app

In CKAD labs, this is almost always done with an Ingress pointing to the Service web-app.

1) Find where web-app Service lives (namespace + port)

kubectl get svc -A | grep -w web-app

You’ll get something like:

web-app ClusterIP ... /TCP

Set the namespace:

NS=

Check the service port(s):

kubectl -n $NS get svc web-app -o yaml

Note the service port number (commonly 80).

Also verify it has endpoints (so it actually routes to pods):

kubectl -n $NS get endpoints web-app -o wide

If endpoints are empty, the Service selector doesn’t match pods — tell me and I’ll give the exact fix. But usually it’s fine.

2) Create the Ingress to route / to web-app

Create a manifest (use the service port you saw; I’ll assume 80 below):

cat <<'EOF' > web-app-ingress.yaml

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1

kind: Ingress

metadata:

name: web-app-ingress

spec:

rules:

- host: external.sterling-bengal.local

http:

paths:

- path: /

pathType: Prefix

backend:

service:

name: web-app

port:

number: 80

EOF

Apply it:

kubectl -n $NS apply -f web-app-ingress.yaml

Verify:

kubectl -n $NS get ingress web-app-ingress

kubectl -n $NS describe ingress web-app-ingress

If your Service port is not 80, change number: 80 to the correct value and re-apply.

3) Test external reachability (as instructed)

Run exactly:

curl -i http://external.sterling-bengal.local/

If curl still fails (quick checks)

A) Is there an ingress controller running?

kubectl get pods -A | egrep -i 'ingress|nginx'

kubectl get svc -A | egrep -i 'ingress|nginx'

B) Does Ingress show an address?

kubectl -n $NS get ingress web-app-ingress -o wide

C) Do we have endpoints?

kubectl -n $NS get endpoints web-app -o wide

Solution:

To allow a pod to send and receive traffic only to and from specific pods, you can use network policies in Kubernetes.

First, you will need to create a network policy that defines the allowed traffic. You can create a network policy yaml file with the following rules:

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1

kind: NetworkPolicy

metadata:

name: newpod-network-policy

namespace: default

spec:

podSelector:

matchLabels:

app: kdsn00201-newpod

ingress:

- from:

- podSelector:

matchLabels:

app: web

- podSelector:

matchLabels:

app: storage

This policy will only allow incoming traffic to the pod with the label app=kdsn00201-newpod from pods with the label app=web or app=storage. If you have different labels on your web and storage pods please update the matchLabels accordingly.

Once you have created the network policy, you can apply it to the cluster by running the following command:

kubectl apply -f .yaml

This will apply the network policy to the cluster, and the newpod will only be able to send and receive traffic to and from the web and storage pods.

Please note that, NetworkPolicy resource is not available by default, you need to enable the NetworkPolicy feature on your Kubernetes cluster. This feature is enabled by default on some clusters and must be explicitly enabled on others. You can check if NetworkPolicy is available by running the command kubectl api-versions | grep networking

Also, you need to ensure that the pods that you want to allow traffic to and from are running on the same namespace.

Solution:

To find the broken pod and store its name and namespace to /opt/KDOB00401/broken.txt, you can use the kubectl get pods command and filter the output by the status of the pod.

kubectl get pods --field-selector=status.phase=Failed -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.namespace}/{.items[*].metadata.name}' > /opt/KDOB00401/broken.txt

This command will list all pods with a status of Failed and output their names and namespaces in the format /. The output is then written to the /opt/KDOB00401/broken.txt file.

To store the associated error events to a file /opt/KDOB00401/error.txt, you can use the kubectl describe command to retrieve detailed information about the pod, and the grep command to filter the output for error events.

kubectl describe pods --namespace | grep -i error -B5 -A5 > /opt/KDOB00401/error.txt

Replace and with the name and namespace of the broken pod you found in the previous step.

This command will output detailed information about the pod, including error events. The grep command filters the output for lines containing "error" and also prints 5 lines before and after the match.

To fix the issue, you need to analyze the error events and find the root cause of the issue.

It could be that the application inside the pod is not running, the container image is not available, the pod has not enough resources, or the liveness probe configuration is incorrect.

Once you have identified the cause, you can take appropriate action, such as restarting the application, updating the container image, increasing the resources, or modifying the liveness probe configuration.

After fixing the issue, you can use the kubectl get pods command to check the status of the pod and ensure
