How SKILL.SCH works

Learn. Practise. Get help. Get assessed. Prove it.

Not a pile of videos. One path from your first lesson to work an employer can check.

Grading Hub · Kubernetes: Deploy & Expose an App

Example

Score

78/100

Checked by Gia in 12s

Reviewed by your trainer

  • Deployment created with 3 replicas

  • Service exposes the app on port 80

  • Readiness probe missing

    Without it, Kubernetes sends traffic to pods before the app is ready. Add a readinessProbe on /healthz.

  • Resource limits set

Trainer: Solid deployment. Add the readiness probe and resubmit: this is exactly what production on-call teams look for.

The Grading Hub

Your work deserves more than a completion badge.

Every lab and assignment you submit lands in our Grading Hub.

  • GiaGia, our grading agent, checks every requirement in seconds: what passed, what didn't, and why it matters.
  • A trainer signs off every grade, adjusts it where Gia can't judge, and tells you what to do next.
  • Fix it and resubmit until it meets the bar. Passed work becomes a verified credential.
