## Prerequisites

- Complete the previous sections of this guide, starting with [Develop your Rust application](develop.md).
- [Turn on Kubernetes](/manuals/desktop/features/kubernetes.md#install-and-turn-on-kubernetes) in Docker Desktop.

## Overview

In this section, you'll learn how to use Docker Desktop to deploy your application to a fully-featured Kubernetes environment on your development machine. This lets you to test and debug your workloads on Kubernetes locally before deploying.

## Create a Kubernetes YAML file

In your `docker-rust-postgres` directory, create a file named
`docker-rust-kubernetes.yaml`. Open the file in an IDE or text editor and add
the following contents. Replace `DOCKER_USERNAME/REPO_NAME` with your Docker
username and the name of the repository that you created in [Configure CI/CD for
your Rust application](configure-ci-cd.md).
