Applications

In Kubernetes, an application is a collection of configuration settings and variables required to run your app. This may consist of a single container or multiple containers with complex interoperability.

You can filter the list of applications by namespace using the Namespace dropdown.

Portainer lets you add applications either using a form or through a manifest:

{% content-ref url="add.md" %} add.md {% endcontent-ref %}

{% content-ref url="manifest.md" %} manifest.md {% endcontent-ref %}

You can also inspect a running application:

{% content-ref url="inspect.md" %} inspect.md {% endcontent-ref %}

Applications can also be deployed via Helm charts:

{% content-ref url="../helm/deploy.md" %} deploy.md {% endcontent-ref %}

If you no longer require an application, it can be removed:

{% content-ref url="remove.md" %} remove.md {% endcontent-ref %}
