Kubernetes Manifests

A Manifest is a Kubernetes “API Object Description” written in YAML or JSON.

A manifest is a specification of a Kubernetes API object in JSON or YAML format. A manifest specifies the desired state of an object that Kubernetes will maintain when you apply the manifest.

This guide covers how you can use Zeet's official Manifest Blueprint to deploy a Manifest into your cluster!

1. Select Manifest Blueprint​

To get started, head over to the Zeet dashboard and navigate to the Create New menu. Here, select the Manifest Blueprint.

2. Configure Blueprint​

After selecting your Manifest Blueprint, you'll need to configure your deployment. For this guide, we will be deploying an Nginx instance using a Manifest.

1. Pick your Source​

The first step in configuring your deployment is to select your source. You can choose to either select a repository from your connected GitHub account(s) or deploy directly from any public Git repository. Zeet will scan for and deploy any .yaml files in the directory specified.

2. Select Target​

The next step is selecting your Deploy Target. Manifests are deployed in your cluster. If you don't already have a cluster connected, follow the link here to create or link a new Cluster.

3. Configure Inputs​

Source? Check. Target? Check. Now it's time to configure your Helm chart to get your Project running!

  • The Working Directory specifies which sub-direcotry your manifests live it. This expects an input in the form of path/to/file. For example, if your Manifest resides within a directory, you would have to enter manifests/my_manifest.yaml.

4. Organize and Deploy!​

Congratulations! You're just one step away from your brand new Project. Give it a name and a home. Pick the Group and Sub-Group, or create new ones and bring your Project to life. Read our docs on Organization to learn more about Groups and Sub-Groups.

Now that your Project has a name and a place to call home, you can choose to Deploy it or save it as a draft for future use.
