-Now you should receive a message like this:
-```
-I am 'kubernetes-leader-election-example-1234567890-abcde' but I am not a leader of the 'world'
-```
+If another instance was able to acquire the leadership you should see a different instance is now the leadership.  You may
+have to try this a few times depending on how the service is load balanced.
 
-If you wouldn't do anything for a few seconds, the same instance will become a leader again because it only yielded its leadership but stayed in the cluster.
-
-Now scale the application to two instances and try all the steps again:
-```
-kubectl scale --replicas=2 deployment.apps/kubernetes-leader-election-example
-```
+`DEBUG` logging is enabled so you can view the logs of the instances in order to see which instance is acquiring leadership.
 
 > Note: with multiple replicas in the cluster, `curl` command will access one of them depending on the Kubernetes load balancing configuration.
 Thus, when trying to yield the leadership, request might go to a non-leader node first. Just execute command again until it reaches the correct node.
