Preparation

1. Open a Terminal window by clicking on the Termnial icon in the left sidebar - we will use this extensively later as well

2. Start the demo application

   kubectl create -f ./deployment/demoapp.yaml
   kubectl create -f ./deployment/demoapp-service.yaml
   kubectl create -f ./deployment/demoapp-backend.yaml
   kubectl create -f ./deployment/demoapp-backend-service.yaml
   Copy to clipboardCopied!

3. Wait for the demo application to be available (the status must be 1/1)

   kubectl get pods
   Copy to clipboardCopied!

   > NAME                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
   > k8sdemo-backend-5b779f567f-2rbgj   1/1     Running   0          21s
   > k8sdemo-backend-5b779f567f-p6j76   1/1     Running   0          21s
   > k8sdemo-bd6bbd548-jcb6r            1/1     Running   0          21s

4. Open the demo application in the browser

   Open the webpage directly by typing:

   minikube service k8sdemo-service
   Copy to clipboardCopied!

   where k8sdemo-service is the name of the exposed kubernetes service.

5. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/ in your browser.
