Metis Container Quick Start
Deploy your first workload on Metis Container. The cluster is provided by Metis, so you can deploy workloads right away without creating a cluster.
Prerequisites
- A Metis account
- A container image to deploy
- A namespace to deploy the workload into
Open Metis Container
In Metis, go to Container. The Workloads, Networking, Storage, and Policy menus are shown.
Create a Deployment
From the left sidebar, go to Workloads → Deployments.
- Click Create Deployment (top right).
- Select a namespace and enter the application name and replica count.
- On the Container tab, enter the image to deploy (e.g.,
nginx:1.26). - Optionally set resource requests (CPU/Memory) and environment variables.
- Click Create in the Summary panel.
For detailed steps, see the Create a Deployment guide.
Check the deployment
In Workloads → Deployments, check the status of the deployment you created.
| Column | Description |
