Kubernetes Lab 2 - Pod Configuration

Problem

• Create a pod definition named yoda-service-pod.yml, and then create a pod in the cluster using this definition to make sure it works.

• The current image for the container is bitnami/nginx. You do not need a custom command or args.
• There is some configuration data the container will need:
  • yoda.baby.power=100000000
  • yoda.strength=10
• It will expect to find this data in a file at /etc/yoda-service/yoda.cfg. Store the configuration data in a ConfigMap called yoda-service-config and provide it to the container as a mounted volume.
• The container should expect to use 64Mi of memory and 250m CPU (use resource requests).
• The container should be limited to 128Mi of memory and 500m CPU (use resource limits).
• The container needs access to a database password in order to authenticate with a backend database server. The password is 0penSh1ftRul3s!. It should be stored as a Kubernetes secret called yoda-db-password and passed to the container as an environment variable called DB_PASSWORD.
• The container will need to access the Kubernetes API using the ServiceAccount yoda-svc. Create the service account if it doesn’t already exist, and configure the pod to use it.

Verification

kubectl exec -it yoda-service /bin/bash
cd /etc/yoda-service
cat yoda.cfg
