# Deployment guide for Kubernetes
> Note: The best place to start is the README file in the faas or faas-netes repo.
## Kubernetes
### Build a cluster
You can start evaluating FaaS and building functions on your laptop or on a VM (cloud or on-prem).
* [10 minute guides for minikube / kubeadm](https://blog.alexellis.io/tag/k8s/)
### Deploy OpenFaaS
* Clone the code
```
$ git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas-netes
```
* Deploy the services
```
$ cd faas-netes
$ kubectl apply -f ./faas.yml,monitoring.yml,rbac.yml
```
That's it. You now have OpenFaaS deployed.
For simplicity the default configuration uses NodePorts rather than an IngressController (which is more complicated to setup).
| Service | TCP port |
--------------------|----------|
| API Gateway / UI | 31112 |
| Prometheus | 31119 |
> If you're an advanced Kubernetes user, you can add an IngressController to your stack and remove the NodePort assignments.
* Deploy a sample function
There are currently no sample functions built into this stack, but we can deploy them quickly via the UI or FaaS-CLI.
**Use the CLI**
Follow the tutorials below, but change your gateway URL from `localhost:8080` to `kubernetes-node-ip:31112`
i.e.
```
provider:
name: faas
gateway: http://192.168.4.95:31112
```
* Learn about the CLI
[Morning coffee with the OpenFaaS CLI](https://blog.alexellis.io/quickstart-openfaas-cli/)
* Build your first Python function
[Your first serverless Python function with OpenFaaS](https://blog.alexellis.io/first-faas-python-function/)
You can also deploy the samples from the [FaaS-cli](https://github.com/openfaas/faas-cli), but change the gateway address as above.
```
$ git clone https://github.com/openfaas/faas-cli && \
faas-cli deploy -f samples.yml
```
**Use the UI**
Click "New Function" and fill it out with the following:
| Field | Value |
-------------|------------------------------|
| Service | nodeinfo |
| Image | functions/nodeinfo:latest |
| fProcess | node main.js |
| Network | default |
* Test the function
Your function will appear after a few seconds and you can click "Invoke"
You can also use the CLI like this:
```
$ echo -n "" | faas-cli invoke --gateway http://kubernetes-ip:31112 --name nodeinfo
$ echo -n "verbose" | faas-cli invoke --gateway http://kubernetes-ip:31112 --name nodeinfo
```
## Helm chart
A Helm chart is provided below with experimental support.
