In the namespace ckad-prep create a new Pod named mypod with the image nginx:2.3.5. Expose the port 80.
Identify the issue with creating the container. Write down the root cause of issue in a file named pod-error.txt.
Change the image of the Pod to nginx:1.15.12.
List the Pod and ensure that the container is running.
Log into the container and run the ls command. Write down the output. Log out of the container.
Retrieve the IP address of the Pod mypod.
Run a temporary Pod using the image busybox, shell into it and run a wget command against the nginx Pod using port 80.
Render the logs of Pod mypod.
Delete the Pod and the namespace.
First, create the namespace.
$ kubectl create namespace ckad-prep
Next, create the Pod in the new namespace.
$ kubectl run mypod --image=nginx:2.3.5 --restart=Never --port=80 --namespace=ckad-prep
pod/mypod created
You will see that the image cannot be pulled as it doesn’t exist with this tag.
$ kubectl get pod -n ckad-prep
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
mypod 0/1 ImagePullBackOff 0 1m
The list of events can give you a deeper insight.
$ kubectl describe pod -n ckad-prep

Go ahead and edit the existing Pod. Alternatively, you could also just use the kubectl set image pod mypod mypod=nginx --namespace=ckad-prep command.
$ kubectl edit pod mypod --namespace=ckad-prep
After setting an image that does exist, the Pod should render the status Running.
$ kubectl get pod -n ckad-prep
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
mypod 1/1 Running 0 14m
You can shell into the container and run the ls command.
$ kubectl exec mypod -it --namespace=ckad-prep -- /bin/sh
/ # ls
bin boot dev etc home lib lib64 media mnt opt proc root run sbin srv sys tmp usr var
/ # exit
Retrieve the IP address of the Pod with the -o wide command line option.
$ kubectl get pods -o wide -n ckad-prep
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE

Remember to use the --rm to create a temporary Pod.
