This section puts everything together. You will write the Kubernetes manifests that describe your app, then deploy it end-to-end and verify it is live at a real URL.
Both files work regardless of whether you are using GitOps or deploying manually with kubectl apply.
| Step | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Writing your first app manifests | Required - covers Deployment, Service, Ingress, and security context |
| 2 | Deploying your first app end-to-end | Required - walks through the full deploy flow with a working example |
Note
Both paths are covered in first-app.md. If you skipped ArgoCD, there is a callout at the top of that file with the manual apply command so you do not need to read through the GitOps steps.
