Deploy Application⚓︎

Now, proceed to deploy our first application. This page provides comprehensive instructions on creating an environment and deploying the application within it.

Create GitOps Repository⚓︎

As a prerequisite, create a GitOps repository in your GitHub account. EDP Portal adheres to the GitOps approach when working with environments. In a GitOps repository, values are saved to redefine the default behavior (parameters) of deployment for each environment. The creation of a GitOps repository involves the following two steps:

1. In EDP Portal, navigate to EDP -> Configuration -> Deployment -> GitOps:

   

2. Define the following values and click Save:

   • Git server: github
     
   • Git repo relative path: github_account_name
     
   • Repository Name: edp-gitops
