Deploy First Application

Welcome to KubeVela! In this guide, we'll walk you through how to install KubeVela, and deploy your first simple application.

Installation​

Make sure you have finished and verified KubeVela installation following this guide.

A Simple Application​

A simple deployment definition in KubeVela looks as below:

apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: first-vela-app
spec:
  components:
    - name: express-server
      type: webservice
      properties:
        image: oamdev/hello-world
        port: 8000
      traits:
        - type: gateway
          properties:
            domain: testsvc.example.com
            http:
              "/": 8000

Now deploy it to KubeVela:

vela up -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubevela/kubevela/master/docs/examples/vela-app.yaml

This command will deploy a web service component to target environment, which in our case is the Kubernetes cluster that KubeVela itself is installed.

After deployed, you can now directly visit this application as it already attached with a ingress trait (assume your cluster has ingress controller installed).

$ curl -H "Host:testsvc.example.com" http://<some ip address>/
<xmp>
Hello World


                                       ##         .
                                 ## ## ##        ==
                              ## ## ## ## ##    ===
                           /""""""""""""""""\___/ ===
                      ~~~ {~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~ ~ /  ===- ~~~
                           \______ o          _,/
                            \      \       _,'
                             `'--.._\..--''
</xmp>

Great! You have finished deploying your first KubeVela application, the simplest component can only have one component, the rest fields are all optional including trait, policies and workflow.
