**Draft Create**  

We need some "scaffolding" to deploy our app into a [Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io/) cluster. Draft can create a [Helm](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm) chart, a Dockerfile and a draft.toml with draft create:  


 ```
$ draft create

--\> Python app detected

--\> Ready to sail

$ ls

Dockerfile  app.py  chart/  draft.toml  requirements.txt
  ```


The chart/ and Dockerfile assets created by Draft default to a basic Python configuration. This Dockerfile harnesses the [python:onbuild image](https://hub.docker.com/_/python/), which will install the dependencies in requirements.txt and copy the current directory into /usr/src/app. And to align with the service values in chart/values.yaml, this Dockerfile exposes port 80 from the container.  

The draft.toml file contains basic configuration about the application like the name, which namespace it will be deployed to, and whether to deploy the app automatically when local files change.  


 ```
$ cat draft.toml  
[environments]  
  [environments.development]  
    name = "tufted-lamb"  
    namespace = "default"  
    watch = true  
    watch\_delay = 2
  ```



**Draft Up**



Now we're ready to deploy app.py to a Kubernetes cluster.

Draft handles these tasks with one draft up command:

- reads configuration from draft.toml
- compresses the chart/ directory and the application directory as two separate tarballs
- uploads the tarballs to draftd, the server-side component
- draftd then builds the docker image and pushes the image to a registry
- draftd instructs helm to install the Helm chart, referencing the Docker registry image just built

With the watch option set to true, we can let this run in the background while we make changes later on…
