Page Connectivity Between Pods
Figure 5-2. Pod-to-Pod communication

The IP of the POD2 is the same as the ip of the POD1 which is incorrect

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thanks, you are correct. This should have been 172.17.0.4 for Pod 1, and 172.17.0.5 for Pod 2.

Paragraph Backing Up etcd

I'm using Safari online (no page info). The error is in chapter 2. Cluster Architecture, Installation, and Configuration, section Paragraph Backing Up etcd in an explanation of etcd config

Following error might mislead people preparing for the exam. I added --> to mark the exact line

$ kubectl describe pod etcd-kube-control-plane -n kube-system
...
Containers:
etcd:
...
Command:
etcd
...
--cert-file=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt
--key-file=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key
--listen-client-urls=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key ---> this should contain url, not path to the server key i.e. --listen-client-urls=here should go URL i.e. localhost and port
--trusted-ca-file=/etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt
...

Note from the Author or Editor:
Thanks for reporting this issue. This must have been a copy-paste mistake on my part.

In the output, the argument and assigned value could look as follows:

--listen-client-urls=https://127.0.0.1:2379,https://172.24.248.5:2379

Generally speaking, I would just remove all references to the "--listen-client-urls" argument (from text and console output) as it is not necessarily required for backing up and restoring etcd.
