An app is a collection of one or more services. Each app is associated with a project in a cluster. A project can have one or more apps in it.

Apps can be of any size or complexity, ranging from a simple HTTP service which responds with “hello world” to a set of microservices which talk to each other.

You can create a new app from the project page as shown below:

You can also create new apps from the “Apps” link in the menu.

The new App form looks like this:

The project indicates the project in which your app will be deployed.

Name

The name of your app. Can contain letters, numbers and the hyphen character. No other special character or spaces allowed. The name of the app is unique within a project.

stack

The “stack” denotes the tech stack for your app. Currently, the following stacks are supported:

Repo

The github repo link for your application code. Put the https link here if it is a public repo, and the ssh link if it is a private repo.

You have to link your Github account before adding private repos.

Ref

Subpath

The relative path where your application code is. Skip this field if your application is at the top level.

Click on “Create”. You will be redirected to the app page.

This step creates your application configuration only, it doesn’t deploy the app in the cluster yet.
