💬 Partial Outage - Challenge Discussion

Partial Outage

The frontend app is up — but some users report failures. It’s not the code. Investigate the cluster’s configuration before the incident spreads.

Challenge Details

• Theme: networking
• Difficulty: beginner
• Estimated Time: 10 minutes

Initial Situation

A frontend Deployment with 2 replicas and a backend Deployment with 1 replica are deployed in the same namespace.
A NetworkPolicy is defined, but users still report issues — possibly related to intra-cluster communication.

Objective

Ensure the frontend can successfully communicate with the backend over HTTP, while keeping traffic restricted.
