TrueFoundry allows you to deploy Kubernetes manifests directly through the web interface, making it easy to deploy any Kubernetes application without needing to use kubectl or other command-line tools. This feature is perfect for deploying existing Kubernetes applications, custom operators, or any workload that's defined as Kubernetes YAML manifests. ## Prerequisites * Access to a TrueFoundry workspace * A connected cluster (AWS, GCP, Azure, or on-premises) * Kubernetes manifests in YAML format ## Step-by-Step Deployment Guide Log in to your TrueFoundry dashboard and click on **Deployments** in the left sidebar, then click **New** to create a new deployment.
