Kubernetes Cats and Dogs

The dog api

Behind demo-flask, we are using thecatapi.com The same API also exist for dogs: thedogapi.com

Exo

What you need to do now is to create a new deployment that will use the dog api.

At the end, when browsing the website, I want to see half of the time a dog, half of the time a cat.

Try to figure out how to achieve this.

Some clues:

• you may need to use configmap and volumes to change start.py
• you may need to create two deployments (one for cats, one for dogs)
• you may need to use the same labels for both deployments so the service will loadbalance between the two of them

Bonus

Add some HTTPS certificates using letsencrypt (maybe using certmanager)
