Description

Hi, I was learning with basic kubernetes tutorial and I've found one discrepancy in [the tutorial](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/kubernetes-basics/update/update-intro/#:~:text=To%20get%20more,in%20the%20repository.):

"
To get more insight into the problem, run the describe pods subcommand:
```kubectl describe pods```

In the **Events section** of the output for the affected Pods, notice that the v10 image version did not exist in the repository.
"

The **Events** section does not exist in the ``kubectl describe pods`` output, because there is more than 1 pod:
Image

I needed to either run ``kubectl describe pod kubernetes-bootcamp-...`` or ``kubectl describe pods --show-events=true`` to follow the tutorial

Research direction

Start with the Kubernetes Basics rolling update tutorial at the linked update-intro section and reproduce the failing `kubectl describe pods` step. Check the output for multiple pods and the documented alternatives, then update the tutorial so the Events section can be found reliably; verify the revised instructions by rerunning the tutorial commands.
