Deploy your application

For this tutorial, you will be using our getting started sample app. Start by cloning the following repo:

git clone https://github.com/okteto/getting-started
cd getting-started

The Movies app comes with a Helm chart to deploy the application on Kubernetes. To instruct Okteto to deploy the Movies app, create an okteto.yaml file at the root of the repo with the following content:

name: movies
deploy:
  - name: Helm Install
    command: helm upgrade --install movies chart

The meaning of these fields is:

  • name: it's the name of your development environment
  • deploy: it's a list of commands to deploy your application. Every command has the following fields:
    • name: a name to label your command
    • command: the command to be executed

Now deploy the Movies app by running the following command:

okteto deploy
 i  Using cindy @ okteto.example.com as context
 i  Running 'Helm Install'
Release "movies" does not exist. Installing it now.
NAME: movies
LAST DEPLOYED: Fri Jan 19 23:54:00 2024
NAMESPACE: cindy
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 2
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
Success! Your application will be available shortly.
 i  There are no available endpoints for 'movies'.
    Follow this link to know more about how to create public endpoints for your application:
    https://www.okteto.com/docs/core/ingress/automatic-ssl
 ✓  Development environment 'movies' successfully deployed

Confirm that the Movies app is up and running by logging into the Okteto UI:

Movies Onboard Deploy

Or by configuring your Kubernetes credentials to access your Development Environment:

okteto kubeconfig
Updated kubernetes context 'okteto_example_com/cindy' in '[/Users/cindy/.kube/config]'

And using kubectl to visualize how your Development Environment looks in Kubernetes:

kubectl get all

Next Steps​

Awesome, you have deployed the Movies app to Okteto 🚀

But the Okteto CLI is informing us that There are no available endpoints for 'movies'...

Let's create endpoints for your app in the next step of this guide 😎
