Original: Building an On-Premise Kubernetes Cluster — Part 5: Deploying Your First Container

Short summary

Part 5 of an on-premise Kubernetes series guides readers through deploying their first containerized application (Nginx) to validate the cluster end to end. It covers writing Deployment and Service YAML manifests, applying them with kubectl, and accessing the application via NodePort. Successful deployment confirms the control-plane, CNI, kube-proxy, and workers are all functioning correctly.

  • Deploy Nginx as a validation application on an on-premise Kubernetes cluster
  • Create Deployment and NodePort Service manifests and apply them with kubectl
  • End-to-end access confirms control-plane scheduling, CNI networking, and kube-proxy routing work correctly
