Hi @dietrich.vatter,

I went through all Lab 4 and it worked for me. I used Ubuntu LTS 22.04 and 16 GB of memory, 40 GB of storage on GCP.

So, as I wasn't unable to reproduce the issue, I recommend the following:

1.- Delete the deployment.
2.- Delete the service.
3.- Create the deplyoment.
4.- Create the service.
5.- Try the App again.

Regards,
Luis.
