Another query :please help
In question number 1 of https://uklabs.kodekloud.com/topic/practice-test-application-failure-2/

Service name : mysql
Value inside pod:
Environment:
DB_Host: mysql-service
DB_User: root
DB_Password: paswrd
This difference causes the connectivity issue . I got the issue .

BUT AS A SOLUTION i changed the environment value to “mysql” without touching service name and receated the deployment object. I personally think its better to make change in the part where it is being consumed. here its pod .
Value inside pod:
Environment:
DB_Host: mysql
DB_User: root
DB_Password: paswrd

Therefore now i can curl and get <!-- <h1> DATABASE CONNECTION SUCCESSFUL !</h1> –>

BUT the test verification fails . It only marks it right if the service name is changed to “mysql-service”.

I was wondering if the tester in exam only follows one approach cause there could be multiple ways to solve a problem.

Thanks @Malayamanas Panda you also have careful eyes :smile:

Will our real exam have these figures and specific value to use as in our mock exams

Malayamanas Panda:
I do not know, I would go for killer.sh tests, which are more difficult than CKA actual exams. killer.sh mock-test is available for free, after you get registered with linuxfoundation CKA exam.

@Malayamanas Panda - How do I access killer.sh labs ? I registered on CNCF a couple of weeks back. Thanks in advance.

@Gurudutt Dongre I assume you have already PAID for CKA certification. You can check simulator access in https://trainingportal.linuxfoundation.org/ PORTAL. Refer to below tiny screenshot .
