Kubernetes and Using Pods

In this hands-on lab, you will be provided with two servers. They have been partially configured for use with Kubernetes and containerd. The cluster has been initialized, so you need to add a Node to the cluster, create an `nginx` Pod, and run the Pod. Verify successful completion by confirming the output is visible from the Nginx Pod.
