Task Overview
You're restoring a MariaDB deployment in the mariadb namespace with persistent data.
# Tasks:
* SSH into cka000047
* Create a PVC named mariadb:
* Namespace: mariadb
* Access mode: ReadWriteOnce
* Storage: 250Mi
* Use the existing retained PV (there's only one)
* Edit ~/mariadb-deployment.yaml to use the PVC
* Apply the deployment
* Verify MariaDB is running and stable
Step-by-Step Solution
1## SSH into the correct host
ssh cka000047
## Required - skipping = zero score
2## Inspect the existing PersistentVolume
kubectl get pv
# Identify the only existing PV, e.g.:
NAME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES RECLAIM POLICY STATUS CLAIM STORAGECLASS
mariadb-pv 250Mi RWO Retain Available <none> manual
Ensure the status is Available, and it is not already bound to a claim.
3## Create the PVC to bind the retained PV
Create a file mariadb-pvc.yaml:
cat <<EOF > mariadb-pvc.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: mariadb
namespace: mariadb
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 250Mi
volumeName: mariadb-pv # Match the PV name exactly
EOF
Apply the PVC:
kubectl apply -f mariadb-pvc.yaml
# This binds the PVC to the retained PV.
4## Edit the MariaDB Deployment YAML
Open the file:
nano ~/mariadb-deployment.yaml
Look under the spec.template.spec.containers.volumeMounts and spec.template.spec.volumes sections and update them like so:
Add this under the container:
yaml
CopyEdit
volumeMounts:
- name: mariadb-storage
mountPath: /var/lib/mysql
And under the pod spec:
volumes:
- name: mariadb-storage
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: mariadb
# These lines mount the PVC at the MariaDB data directory.
5## Apply the updated Deployment
kubectl apply -f ~/mariadb-deployment.yaml
6## Verify the Deployment is running and stable
kubectl get pods -n mariadb
kubectl describe pod -n mariadb <mariadb-pod-name>
# Ensure the pod is in Running state and volume is mounted.
# Final Command Summary
ssh cka000047
kubectl get pv # Find the retained PV
# Create PVC
cat <<EOF > mariadb-pvc.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
name: mariadb
namespace: mariadb
spec:
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 250Mi
volumeName: mariadb-pv
EOF
kubectl apply -f mariadb-pvc.yaml
# Edit Deployment
nano ~/mariadb-deployment.yaml
# Add volumeMount and volume to use the PVC as described
kubectl apply -f ~/mariadb-deployment.yaml
kubectl get pods -n mariadb

kubectl autoscale deploy webapp --min=10 --max=20 --cpu percent=85 kubectl get hpa kubectl get pod -l app=webapp

Explanation
// create a pod
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never --port=80
// List the pod with different verbosity
kubectl get po nginx --v=7
kubectl get po nginx --v=8
kubectl get po nginx --v=9
