+# GLVD Kubernetes deployment
+
+This deployment guide is work in progress.
+It is intended for development purposes so stakeholders can get a running version of the current development version of GLVD.
+
+Assuming you have a Kubernetes cluster with enough resources (8 cpu, 16 GiB memory), that ideally should be located in the US, the following should give you a running cluster:
+
+```bash
+# create a random password for the database
+kubectl create secret generic postgres-password --type=string --from-literal=password=$(pwgen 42 1)
+
+# create persistent volume claim for postgres storage
+kubectl apply -f 00-glvd-pvc.yaml
+
+# create deployment (needs the password secret)
+# this will be starting the data ingestion process which takes a while for the first time
+kubectl apply -f 01-glvd-deployment.yaml
+
+# create service to expose the api http interface
+kubectl apply -f 02-glvd-service.yaml
+
+# check the progress, the last line should say 'done'
+kubectl logs -c data-ingestion glvd-SOME-ID
+
+# get hostname of external service (this assumes only one hostname exists)
+HOSTNAME=$(kubectl get svc glvd -o template --template '{{range .status.loadBalancer.ingress}}{{.hostname}}{{end}}')
+
+# check for readiness
+curl http://$HOSTNAME:8080/readiness
+
+# use the API as described here https://gardenlinux.github.io/glvd-api/
+# but use the HOSTNAME variable instead of glvd.gardenlinux.io for now
+curl http://$HOSTNAME:8080/v1/cves/debian_linux/bookworm
+```
