Question 7 - Create a pod called test-pod in "custom" namespace belonging to the test environment (env=test) and backend tier (tier=backend).​ image: nginx:1.17​

Question 15 - Create a Nginx pod dns-resolver using image nginx, expose it internally with a aservice called dns-resolver-service. Check if service name is resolvable from within the cluster. Use the image busybox:1.28 for dns lookup Save the result in /root/nginx.svc
