Skills Graph

Hi there, welcome to LabEx! In this first lab, you'll learn the classic "Hello, World!" program in Kubernetes.

Click the Continue button below to start the lab.

Hello Kubernetes

Let's start by creating a simple Kubernetes deployment.

Open a terminal and start a Kubernetes cluster using minikube start.

minikube start
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will take a few minutes to complete.

We'll use the kubectl run command to create a deployment with a single container. The container will run the nginx image, which is a simple web server.

kubectl run hello-kubernetes --image=nginx --port=8080
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now, let's check the status of the deployment.

kubectl get pods
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Summary

Coungratulations! You have completed your first LabEx Lab.
