Hi All,

Just wondering if someone is able to help me with the first kubernetes kodekloud engineering challenge

  1. Set the app label to nginx_app, and name the container as nginx-container.

I didnt think you couild name containers within Kubernetes? or am i missing something

Anyone else had any issues?

Hi @Xebus

Yes, you can assign names to containers within a Pod in Kubernetes. Naming containers is beneficial as it helps both humans and machines easily identify and manage multiple containers within the same Pod.

Example:

containers:
  - name: nginx-container
    image: nginx
    volumeMounts:
    - name: shared-data
      mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
  - name: debian-container
    image: debian
    volumeMounts:
    - name: shared-data
      mountPath: /pod-data

Hope this helps.
