Deploy a Podinfo Pod

First, let’s create a namespace for our application (podinfo) to execute in. In each of the terminal sessions, execute:

kubectl create namespace podinfo

(Yes, this could have been accomplished by placing a manifest in your git repository to create the namespace)

We will be creating a number of files in your git repository for these next few steps. You can choose to create all the files first, then commit and push to the repository, or you can commit and push after each file creation. If you commit and push after each file creation, you can execute kubectl get pods -A to see what has happened.

Create a file called podinfo-deployment.yaml in your git repository:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: podinfo
  namespace: podinfo
spec:
  minReadySeconds: 3
  revisionHistoryLimit: 5
  progressDeadlineSeconds: 60
