Prepare the Kubernetes specification files for deployment

To deploy the Sitecore Kubernetes specification files, you must use the Kubernetes Kubectl CLI.

To prepare for deployment:

1. Download the Sitecore Experience Platform Container Deployment Package from the Sitecore download page, and extract it to a temporary folder on your installation.

2. Locate the k8s\<version>\<topology> folder, where <version> is your Windows version and <topology> is the Sitecore topology you use. The folder can be, for example, k8s\ltsc2022\xp1.

   Note

   Sitecore currently supports the Sitecore XP Server (XP1) and Sitecore XM Server (XM1) topologies on Kubernetes.

3. To familiarize yourself with the specifications, inspect the folder contents and the Kubernetes specification files (.yaml).
