Challenge

Configure the App's Containers to Be Stateless

Make the container file system for the app's containers read-only.

The application needs to be able to write to /tmp. You will need to create an external volume to allow the application to write to this directory at runtime.

You can find a deployment descriptor for the app at /home/cloud_user/pirate-day.yml.
Challenge

Scale the Application Up

Increase the number of replicas for the application to 5.
