+First install microk8s:
+
+```bash
+sudo snap install microk8s --classic
+```
+
+add user permissions
+```bash
+sudo usermod -a -G microk8s $USER
+sudo chown -R $USER ~/.kube
+```
+
+Log out and log in
+
+start microk8s
+```
+microk8s start
+```
+
+Add GPU support
+```
+microk8s enable gpu
+```
+
+Add storage support (follow https://microk8s.io/docs/addon-hostpath-storage)
+```
+microk8s enable storage
+```
+
+Kube config
+```
+mkdir -p ~/.kube && microk8s config >> ~/.kube/config
+```
+
+Now one can use `kubectl` command.
+
+2. create a namespace
+
+```
+export NAMESPACE=dynamo-playground
+export RELEASE_NAME=dynamo-platform
+
+#install nats and etcd
+cd deploy/Kubernetes/pipeline/dependencies
+
+#install nats
+helm repo add nats https://nats-io.github.io/k8s/helm/charts/
+helm repo update
+helm install --namespace ${NAMESPACE} dynamo-platform-nats nats/nats --create-namespace --values nats-values.yaml
+
+#install etcd
+helm install --namespace ${NAMESPACE} dynamo-platform-etcd oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/etcd --values etcd-values.yaml
+```
+
+Now let's containerize a hello world pipeline:
+1. Build container image for `container/Dockerfile.vllm`
+2. Containerize hello world pipeline
+```
+cd examples/hello_world
+export DYNAMO_IMAGE=<dynamo_runtime_image_name>
+dynamo build --containerize hello_world:Frontend
+```
+
+Once the container is built, it has to be tagged and pushed to container registry:
+```
+docker tag <BUILT_IMAGE_TAG> <TAG>
+docker push <TAG>
+```
+
+Now one can deploy the pipeline onto k8s using helm
+- get values.yaml for helm chart:
+- install chart
+```
+export HELM_RELEASE=helloworld
+dynamo get frontend > pipeline-values.yaml
+
+helm upgrade -i "$HELM_RELEASE" ./chart -f pipeline-values.yaml --set image=<TAG> --set dynamoIdentifier="hello_world:Frontend" -n "$NAMESPACE"
+```
+
+Once the deployments are running, one can port-forward to localhost and make API calls to the frontend component:
+```
+kubectl -n ${NAMESPACE} port-forward svc/helloworld-frontend 3000:80
+curl -X 'POST'   'http://localhost:3000/generate'   -H 'accept: text/event-stream'   -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{"text": "test"}'
+```
+
+Full script to build a container, push it to registry and deploya helm chart: `deploy/Kubernetes/pipeline/deploy.sh`
