Much to people’s surprise, the fortune cookie is not a Chinese invention, but an American ideaoriginating in California. It is often served as a dessert in Chinese restaurants in the UnitedStates and other Western countries.

In this exercise you’ll get a chance to offer people an infinite amount of fortune cookies by justclicking a button. You’ll use Kubernetes to create a backend service that’ll return a fortunecookie upon request. You can store these cookies in memory, in a file you include in yourDockerfile or on the Internet. If you need some cookies, look in Appendix A. The website can bea simple HTML page, some CSS styling and a bit of JavaScript that fetches a cookie from yourAPI whenever the user presses a button.

Formally, your solution should contain:

• A deployment specification that supports multiple pods and has resources enabled.
• A service that can forward HTTP calls to your pods.
• A website with some visualization of the cookie text and a way to get more.

Also, you must conduct the following experiments and support your findings with measurementsand your own arguments:

• Run a load test towards your Kubernetes service with a different number of active replicapods, for example 2, 5, and 10, and write down your results. You can use PowerShell orNodeJS to make a simple loop that sends a lot of HTTP requests rapidly to your endpoint.Do you notice any lag? Does response times improve when you add more pods? Why orwhy not?
• With memory and CPU resources enabled for pods, experiment with various settings. Whathappens if you set the CPU resources very low? What happens if a container exceeds itsmemory limit? Document your findings.
