Getting Started

Get component-operator running and deploy your first application in minutes

This quickstart walks you through setting up component-operator on a local kind cluster and deploying the podinfo sample application — first from a Helm chart, then from a Kustomize overlay.

  1. Cluster Setup — create a kind cluster, install Flux source-controller, and install component-operator
  2. Scenario 1: Helm — deploy podinfo via its OCI Helm chart
  3. Scenario 2: Kustomize — deploy podinfo via a Kustomize overlay from Git
  4. Next Steps — where to go from here
