All Aboard the Holiday Express!

[emily927]

The next Arcade challenge is now open. This is a 2-part challenge, and it’s all about pipelines. 

Pipeline: N, a long pipe, typically underground, for conveying liquids over long distances. Or in computing, a linear sequence of specialized modules. 

We’re using the second definition today 😉

In the first holiday challenge, you’ll learn how a CI/CD pipeline can automate software delivery. Especially useful when some of your team is enjoying a holiday break! You’ll use Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Build, Cloud Run, Cloud Deploy, Jenkins, and more. 

The game opens with a “hello, world!” intro level lab, then leads you through increasingly complex scenarios.

There are two challenge labs in this game. Challenge labs are, well, challenging! Some suggestions if you find yourself stuck:

• CI/CD on Google Cloud: Challenge Lab - Use the skills you’ve learned up to this point in the game to solve the scenario. When you finish the lab, don’t forget to claim your skill badge! 
• Google Clout - If you’re having trouble with this one, you may find this documentation helpful - or just Google it 😉 When you finish the lab, don’t forget to claim your badge and bragging rights! 

“Bragging rights” is not my favorite phrase. But by the end of this game, you will have earned my admiration. This one is tougher than most of what we’ve done so far in the Arcade. Do you think this is too challenging? Too easy? Just tough enough? Please drop a note and let me know what you think! 👇 

Whew, finally… Join here.

Face Error in Cloud Run Canary deployment lab So many times I try but error occur 

[Avirup14]

Change the zone to "us-central1" from "us-east1", the us-east1 zone sometimes can be little bit intimidating for completing challenges due lack of resource i guess. But change the zone of deployment and you won't face any problem.

Hi @emily927 , 

Wanted to know that, I have earned all three badges... So I will get 2 Arcade points for this Challenge?

[SidVjSingh]

[mayankgpt50]

Thanks, @SidVjSingh for the reply... and clearity.. 

[Kamal34]

[Ajay]

Google Clout 

[aditya-agr]

@emily927 holiday challenge Google Clout  Sandbox Challenge is not working. It is not verifying the work and I tried 5 times so I also exhausted all the quota. So please help me only 8 hours are remained and how should I earn the badge.

[mayankgpt50]

Contact qwiklabs customer support though chat support they will reset the quota.

[SidVjSingh]

It's working just fine, you can ask support for increase in you quota limit.

Just follow the steps as mentioned don't do in a zig-zag manner. Just do as mentioned. 

[Saket07]

Well, the issue has been resolved in the extended Holiday Express. And have completed Google Clout challenge as well. Thanks for telling abt how to increase the quota limit.

[aditya-agr]

@SidVjSingh Thank You so much

[SidVjSingh]

No problem 😉

[emily927]

Hi all! Just a qwik note - we added a few more hours to this challenge. Good luck in the home stretch! And keep an eye out for the next challenge, coming soon (another opportunity for an Arcade point). Cheers, and thanks for stopping by!

[SidVjSingh]

Waiting for next event 😁

[iascoder]

This is not done @emily927 totally unfair and unsatisfied with Arcade Prize Counter 

16 points for White tea pot really does any one have that much point 

Please at least give aim that is achievable 

Not Done @emily927 Please do something 

[Babar_Ali]

16 Points are too Far to Win White-TeaPot

[sanyam_jain]

Please do Something @emily927 We are completing labs from last 3 months and In the End we get nothing .

[Abhishek213]

@emily927 

Many participants are dissatisfied with prize tier /points please look into this and do the needful.

[Purvee]

Hi,

Where did you see the points required for the prizes?

[sanyam_jain]

Go and watch this -https://youtu.be/08rOoBQ_7DY

[Ashish123]

Yes, we are not satisfied with prize @emily927 . 

[snehadipmohanta]

This is totally not fair @emily927 people are participating in the challenges since October & at the end what they are getting . I am requesting you please reduce the eligibility for the tea pots so that people can get those . Looing to learn lots of things from Qwiklabs @emily927 .

[Ashish123]

@emily927 

Arcade game had started at the end of the September . At that time we could't participate in September trivia as already 3 weeks passed for September trivia then how your team can count this badge into Arcade game. This is not acceptable from your team as well as qwiklabs. I will not participate in any event of google cloud from next time.

Thanks
