Applications Overview

Kubernetes Cluster Member users can launch pods using the Kubernetes Applications screen. This screen has three tabs:

KubeDirector: Allows you to launch pods using KubeDirector applications by clicking the Launch button for the application you want to deploy. See KubeDirector Tab.
Kubectl: Allows you to onboard (upload) Kubectl applications using a filesystem mount interface. See Kubectl Tab.
Service Endpoints: Allows you to access exposed application endpoints. See Service Endpoints Tab.
Virtual Endpoints: Allows you to access exposed virtual application endpoints. See Virtual Endpoints Tab.

The following articles describe how to deploy and onboard applications:

Deploying Applications: Describes how to deploy KubeDirector applications. See Deploying Applications.
Onboarding Applications: Describes how to onboard Kubectl applications. See Onboarding Applications.
