Requirements

Let's start by deploying your application using Planeo.

Requirements

Before you start you will need the following

• A Helm chart, either in a local folder, or via a remote Helm repo (oci is not currently supported)

• A connection to any Kubernetes cluster (if kubectl works you should be good to go)

• The planeo cli running

Setting up test cluster

While in many cases you'll want to test on your remote cluster, perhaps in your dev or staging environment, you can quickly start using Planeo with a local cluster. Kind is one of many options to set up a testing cluster, follow the getting started docs for details on how to set up a kind cluster. Other options include

• minikube

• k3s

• docker desktop

• microk8s

Test Charts

While trying out a tool like Planeo, it can be helpful to have some test charts to experiment with. Here are some good candidates:

• https://github.com/helm/examples - A good simple chart to simply have a payload to deploy

• https://github.com/planeodev/sample-app - A set of testing microservices we set up to demonstrate some of the capabilities of Planeo.

Along with a Helm chart you will also need to make sure that the Kubernetes cluster has access to the images used in the Helm chart, which could require pushing them to a local registry.
