π PHASE 3 - Orbit Basics is LIVE β deploy, scale, expose, launch
You've got a cluster. Now make it do something.
Phase 3 β 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.
π What's inside:
β Step 1: Deploy nginx (3 replicas, one command)
β Step 2: Bolt on a HorizontalPodAutoscaler β watch it scale itself
β Step 3: Expose it with a NodePort and curl your way in
β Step 4: Hijack the homepage with a ConfigMap volume
π‘ The plot twist: you'll manually scale to 15 podsβ¦ and watch the autoscaler drag them right back down. That lesson alone is worth the price of admission.
π― 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. π
