Deploy Test Workload

Deploy a small nginx deployment with a ClusterIP Service to confirm the cluster can schedule and serve workloads:

kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx
kubectl expose deployment nginx --port=80 --type=ClusterIP

Check the results:

kubectl get pods -o wide
kubectl get svc

Terminal output of kubectl get pods and kubectl get svc showing the nginx pod and service

Congratulations! You have a working Kubernetes cluster with a scheduled workload on Talos Linux running on Pextra CloudEnvironment®. You can now use kubectl to manage the cluster and deploy additional workloads.

Next Steps

To plan a more resilient deployment (worker nodes, multiple control plane nodes, etcd quorum, load balancing), see the Talos production notes.
The full Talos getting-started guide covers additional scenarios in depth.
