Lab Overview

In this comprehensive hands-on lab, you'll set up a local Kubernetes cluster using Minikube, deploy the TaskFlow backend application with multiple replicas, expose it with a ClusterIP Service, and practice scaling and rolling update operations.

You'll configure Kubernetes health checks, experience zero-downtime deployments firsthand, and practice essential kubectl debugging commands. This is your first Kubernetes lab, deploying TaskFlow to a real cluster!
