Overview

Now that you have a few clusters up, you'll likely want to start deploying real workloads into them. This will show you a relatively basic use case with an example repo we've created here.

You will:

• add a new Git repository to your Plural Console
• deploy a service to a workload cluster with a Git-hosted Helm chart.

It's worth noting that you can put the Helm chart in any repo; it doesn't have to be the application repo. You can also create your own Helm repository using OCI or GitHub Pages, and source charts from there.

Add the Application's Git Repository

To deploy anything, you need to have a repository to source YAML manifests from. We'll use a basic Git repository, which you can add by writing to bootstrap/repositories/cd-demo.yaml:

apiVersion: deployments.plural.sh/v1alpha1
kind: GitRepository
metadata:
  name: cd-demo
spec:
  url: https://github.com/pluralsh/plrl-cd-demo.git

The example repo is public. If yours requires authentication, you can backfill the auth information in the UI, or a simple way to check it all into Git is to reference an SCMConnection that can provide repository read permissions, like so:

apiVersion: deployments.plural.sh/v1alpha1
kind: GitRepository
metadata:
  name: cd-demo
spec:
  url: https://github.com/pluralsh/plrl-cd-demo.git
  scmConnectionRef:
    name: plural
    namespace: infra
