# Deploy Stackable Services

Once the basic infrastructure has been set up, you are ready to deploy services to the cluster. To do this, you must provide Kubernetes with service descriptions for each service you wish to deploy.

#### Apache Zookeeper

Deploy an Apache ZooKeeper instance to your cluster:

```
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
---
apiVersion: zookeeper.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: ZookeeperCluster
metadata:
  name: simple-zk
spec:
  servers:
    roleGroups:
      primary:
        replicas: 1
        config:
          myidOffset: 10
  version: 3.5.8
EOF
```

#### Apache Kafka

This deploys an Apache Kafka broker that depends on the ZooKeeper service you just deployed. The zookeeperReference property below points to the namespace and name you gave to the ZooKeeper service deployed previously.

```
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
---
apiVersion: kafka.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: KafkaCluster
metadata:
  name: simple-kafka
spec:
  version: 2.8.1
  zookeeperConfigMapName: simple-kafka-znode
  brokers:
    roleGroups:
      brokers:
        replicas: 1
        selector:
          matchLabels:
            node: quickstart-1
---
apiVersion: zookeeper.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: ZookeeperZnode
metadata:
  name: simple-kafka-znode
spec:
  clusterRef:
    name: simple-zk
    namespace: default
EOF
```

#### Apache NiFi

The next step is to deploy an Apache NiFi server:

```
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
---
apiVersion: zookeeper.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: ZookeeperZnode
metadata:
  name: simple-nifi-znode
spec:
  clusterRef:
    name: simple-zk
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: nifi-admin-credentials-simple
stringData:
  username: admin
  password: AdminPassword
---
apiVersion: nifi.stackable.tech/v1alpha1
kind: NifiCluster
metadata:
  name: simple-nifi
spec:
  version: "1.15.0"
  zookeeperConfigMapName: simple-nifi-znode
  authenticationConfig:
    method:
      SingleUser:
        adminCredentialsSecret:
          name: nifi-admin-credentials-simple
        autoGenerate: true
  sensitivePropertiesConfig:
    keySecret: nifi-sensitive-property-key
    autoGenerate: true
  nodes:
    roleGroups:
      default:
        selector:
          matchLabels:
            node: quickstart-1
        config:
          log:
            rootLogLevel: INFO
        replicas: 1
EOF
```

You can use `kubectl get pods` to check the status of the services, but you must first install these tools (simple-kafka, simple-nifi, etc.). This will return the status of all pods that are currently running in the default namespace.

```
NAME                                             READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
nifi-operator-deployment-64c98c779c-nw6h8        1/1     Running   0          24m
kafka-operator-deployment-54df9f86c7-psqgd       1/1     Running   0          24m
zookeeper-operator-deployment-767458d4f5-2czb9   1/1     Running   0          24m
secret-operator-daemonset-pddkv                  2/2     Running   0          24m
simple-zk-server-primary-0                       1/1     Running   0          23m
simple-kafka-broker-brokers-0                    2/2     Running   0          21m
simple-nifi-node-default-0                       1/1     Running   0          22m
```

> **Note:** The software download from the Stackable repository and deployment of the services will take time because this is the first time that each service has been deployed to these nodes. Your cluster is prepared for use once the pods are in the running state.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/~/revisions/AMiYziCllTKB2y2lmONY/data-analytics/managed-stackable/how-tos/deploy-services.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
