So far in this chapter, we have successfully orchestrated a single node Kubernetes cluster using Docker, and we have familiarized ourselves with the Kubernetes dashboard. In this recipe, we will learn how to deploy our geolocation microservice on our Kubernetes cluster.

Deploying a microservice in Kubernetes can be done in several ways. We can use kubectl to submit our deployment to the Kubernetes cluster.
