Exercise - Troubleshoot apps on Azure Kubernetes Service
In this exercise, you deploy a containerized API to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and then diagnose and resolve common Kubernetes issues. You use kubectl commands to identify problems, inspect pod status, check logs, and view events. You then use kubectl edit to fix misconfigurations including Service selector mismatches, missing environment variables, and invalid readiness probe paths.
Tasks performed in this exercise:
- Download the project starter files
- Deploy resources to Azure (Azure Container Registry, AKS cluster)
- Diagnose and resolve some common issues
- Clean up Azure resources
This exercise takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
Important
Azure Container Registry task runs are temporarily paused from Azure free credits. This exercise requires a pay-as-you-go, or another paid plan.
