🌍 PHASE 3 - Orbit Basics is LIVE — deploy, scale, expose, launch
You've got a cluster. Now make it do something. Phase 3 — Orbit Basics is now open. In a handful of kubectl commands you'll take a bare nginx image and turn it into a real web app: running, self-scaling, reachable from your browser, and serving your own page. No YAML wizardry. Just your terminal and the cluster you already built. 📌 What's inside: → Step 1: Deploy nginx (3 replicas, one command) → Step 2: Bolt on a HorizontalPodAutoscaler — watch it scale itself → Step 3: Expose it with a NodePort and curl your way in → Step 4: Hijack the homepage with a ConfigMap volume 💡 The plot twist: you'll manually scale to 15 pods… and watch the autoscaler drag them right back down. That lesson alone is worth the price of admission. 🎯 Your mission: Follow the steps, run curl 127.0.0.1:<NodePort>, and post a screenshot of your custom Hello World! page below. That screenshot = your points toward Level 3. No more "I'll learn scaling someday." Someday is today. 👇
