Deploying and Diffing Resources

When a resource is selected in the navigator, the Editor contains Deploy and Diff buttons in the top right.

Deploy and Diff buttons

  • Selecting Deploy will deploy the selected resource to the currently configured Cluster. A status message will be shown in the top right after deploying.
  • Selecting Diff will diff the selected resource against the currently configured cluster;
    • If the resource does not exist in the cluster, an error will be shown.
    • If the resource does exist, the Diff dialog will be shown.

Refreshing the diff is done with the Refresh button and deploying your local version of the resource to your cluster is done with Deploy.
