Running applications from YAML files

“

- So, the first way to install Kubernetes Applications is from YAML files. A Kubernetes application often is a collection of resources and to manage applications that consists of different resources in a consistent way, all the related resources can simply be defined in one YAML file. While doing so, it's recommended to use clear separators between the application components. So, that would mean that you have your deployment, your service, your config maps, your persistent volume claim, everything in one YAML file. It works, it's not very portable. It's not very easy to manage. And to make application management more flexible, it's better if site-specific values can be separated from generic application configuration and that is what you will learn about in the next couple of videos.
