Challenge
Fix the problem
Examine the broken pod more closely:
kubectl describe pod bowline -n gem
Based on the event log and pod status, it appears something may be wrong with the pod image. Look at the pod's container image, which appears to be misspelled. Edit the pod:
kubectl edit pod bowline -n gem
Fix the image name by changing it to
nginx:1.15.9
.Verify that the pod is now working:
kubectl get pod bowline -n gem
Test the broken service to make sure it is working:
curl localhost:30080
