Lab Issue: Deploying Google Kubernetes Engine

[mvpkenlin]

I tried to run the lab of "Deploying Google Kubernetes Engine".
In the Task 3, I have created the sample nginx workload in us-central1-a but it cannot pass the verification. It just reported that I need to create cluster in us-central1-a. How can I get it done? 

I have end the lab 3 times and start the lab again, all 3 times are stack in the task 3 verification. Anyone else has the same experience? how do you get pass to it?

And the first task is asking me to create in us-east4-a, but the task verification is checking us-central1-a. This is another issue too.

After running the command to launch a single instance of the nginx container

kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx:1.10.0

I got this error:

error: failed to create deployment: Post "http://localhost:8080/apis/apps/v1/namespaces/default/deployments?fieldManager=kubectl-create&fieldValidation=Strict": dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused

Here is the solution to this problem: (source)

Run this command before deploying an instance

minikube start

Hi,

This is the 4th time taking this lab, and I always get the same error, and I have experienced what the first user of this thread, but it's not working 😞

I tried to use the solution from Console and it didn't work either 😞

If anyone else could help me, I'd appreciate it.

I am also facing the same issue.

I have created a cluster standard-cluster-1 in zone europe-west4-b as suggested in Lab.
I have also modified this cluster to resize the default node pool to 4. These two steps were verified successfully.
In the Task 3, I have created the sample nginx workload in standard-cluster-1 in europe-west4-b but it cannot pass the verification.
It is saying Deploy a sample nginx workload. Please deploy the sample workload.
Lab is closed with a warning if I try to create another cluster and try.
