Answer options:

gcloud container logs frontend-pod-123

kubectl get logs frontend-pod-123

kubectl logs frontend-pod-123

kubectl describe pod frontend-pod-123

How to approach this question

Remember the standard kubectl command for viewing application output.

Full Answer

C.kubectl logs frontend-pod-123✓ Correct

The `kubectl logs [POD_NAME]` command retrieves the standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr) from the containers running inside the specified pod. This is the primary way to troubleshoot application-level errors in Kubernetes.

Common mistakes

Using `kubectl describe`, which is useful for scheduling errors but doesn't show application logs.
