Deploying your first workload validates that your cluster is working properly and that you can schedule, expose, and access applications successfully. If you don’t have a cluster running yet, check out the Getting Started or Production Notes guides to learn how to create one. To deploy a sample application to your cluster:
  1. Run this command to deploy the application and expose it via a NodePort: 
    kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/siderolabs/example-workload/refs/heads/main/deploy/example-svc-nodeport.yaml
  2. Verify that your pods and services are running: 
    kubectl get pods,services # Lists the deployed pods and services
  3. Create a NODE_IP variable by retrieving an IP address of any one of your nodes: 
    NODE_IP=$(kubectl get nodes -o jsonpath='{.items[0].status.addresses[?(@.type=="InternalIP")].address}'; echo)
  4. Retrieve the NodePort assigned to your Service using: 
    NODE_PORT=$(kubectl get svc example-workload -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}')
  5. Verify your application is running: 
    curl http://$NODE_IP:$NODE_PORT
    And here is your application:
