Hi,

Can you help me to complete this lab. I'm having trouble finding the udp port and creating  firewall rules

[manu-10]

This query gives me a lot of dest-port -- how do i find the udp - port 

jsonPayload.connection.src_ip,
jsonPayload.connection.dest_ip,
CAST(jsonPayload.bytes_sent AS INT64) AS bytes,
jsonPayload.connection.dest_port,
jsonPayload.connection.protocol,
jsonPayload.dest_vpc.subnetwork_name,
jsonPayload.src_vpc.subnetwork_name

FROM `qwiklabs-gcp-01-226abd3bdee3.flow_logs.compute_googleapis_com_vpc_flows_20220906`

where CAST(jsonPayload.bytes_sent AS INT64) = 0

LIMIT 1000

[mh_]

You need to filter out on protocol (protocol number for UDP is 17):

WHERE jsonPayload.connection.protocol = 17

[manu-10]

AWESOME ..... THANKYOU

[fuchengyen]

you're good, I still have no idea how to do #GoogleClout Set 8 (7/10).  😖

could you briefly describe what steps you've done, then I may find out the clue to know the missing 25 points?

[yvssairam]

@fuchengyen  @Abhishek213  Hope the below 📹 helps you 🙂

[fuchengyen]

@yvssairamthanks for your help.

I found that the cloud build trigger's region must be 『global(non-regional)』, or it might encounter 『no concurrent build quota available to create builds』 error.

[Abhishek213]

Thank you sucesssfully completed😃😃

[Bholoubi]

Thank you @yvssairam  the video really helped me.  

[manu-10]

Hi,

Can you help me to complete this lab. I'm having trouble finding the udp port 

here is my Query --

i find many dest-port like 50762, 35410, 59250, 59256, 53116, 59250, 35410   -- which one is the one?

Also do we need  to create two separate firewall rules one for allow-tcp and other allow-udp or just one with both rules allowed

[Abhishek213]

Thanks a lot @Bholoubi @fuchengyen @cloud-jake 

Finnaly completed clout 7😁😁

I think that GKE Sandbox Fun was the most challenging one yet.....  It took a few tries, but it was worth it.

I found that building the 3 YAML files in advance and using sed to update the files before deploying really sped things up!  

Good luck!

[Bholoubi]

Hello 

Thank you @cloud-jake  for the hint 

[anand-patel]

Hi,
could you please share some more insights while creating yaml files for step 3.

• You can add node affinity and toleration configuration settings to the deployment manifest to deploy the pod to the correct node

Please suggest

[cloud-jake]

Hi @anand-patel -

I started by grabbing the sandbox-metadata-test.yaml file from the lab and making 3 versions - 1 for each deployment required in the challenge.

1 - First deployment uses the sample provided YAML file as-is, with "regular-app" replaced with the deployment and container name specified in part 1 of the lab - see sed commands below.

2 - The YAML file for the 2nd deployment is essentially the same as the first, with the added node affinity and toleration section provided in the lab appended to the end.

3 - The YAML file for the 3rd deployment is essentially the same as the 2nd, but with the "runtimeClassName: gvisor" added in the spec section.

Finally, once I had all 3 files prepared, I added the following sed commands in my script to update the deployment files with the name of the deployment specified in the lab.

# Update deployment files with variables

sed -e "s/regular-app/${DEPLOYMENTV1}/g" sandbox-metadata-test.yaml > tmp1 && mv tmp1 v1.yaml

sed -e "s/regular-app/${DEPLOYMENTV2}/g" sandbox-metadata-test-v2.yaml > tmp2 && mv tmp2 v2.yaml

sed -e "s/regular-app/${DEPLOYMENTV3}/g" sandbox-metadata-test-v3.yaml > tmp3 && mv tmp3 v3.yaml

Thanks for your hint. 

I was doing wrong in step 3 hence not able to complete challenge.

Thanks..

It is me who is proposed the #GoogleClout Set 10(9/10) registration here

I hope you enjoyed it. I'd love to hear your feedback on what you think of the challenge.

[GrzWas77]

Hi @ricardobokove 

Yes this is very nice and i can use in my production cases with some more customization. But i think working solution is OK.

Best,

GoogleClout Set 8 (7/10)

Google Clout - CI/CD in a Google Cloud World

Hello guys ,  I was working on cloud set 8 and the cloud source repo which I have to clone and edit seems empty , why is that?  Is this challenge over? or is it a bug? 

[GrzWas77]

Hi @Ajay 

I think is some error but if you can next time try to find if this repo exists or maybe you can search:

I get repo from lab so you can upload and unzip - pop-kustomize.zip 

Best,

Greg

[Ajay]

Hi , @GrzWas77 

I was able to complete it , the second time. You are right it was some error
