Deploy and Expose an App

The quote-engine service is moving to Kubernetes. Its container is already configured to listen on port 9000; other workloads in the cluster will reach it on port 5000 through a stable Service name.

Task

• Create a Deployment quote-engine in namespace inventory with 3 replicas of the image caddy:2.8.
• Its Pods carry the labels app=quote-engine and tier=backend, and the container declares port 9000.
• Create a Service quote-engine-svc of type ClusterIP in the same namespace that accepts traffic on port 5000 and forwards it to port 9000 of the Pods.
• The Service routes to every ready replica of quote-engine, and to nothing else.

A practice cluster is running on this machine: start with kubectl get all -n inventory.
