# Backstage Template for Kubernetes Deployment

This Backstage template YAML automates the creation of a basic Kubernetes Deployment, aimed at simplifying the deployment and management of applications in Kubernetes for the user. The template allows users to define essential parameters, such as the application’s name, and then creates and configures the Kubernetes resources, publishes the application code to a Gitea Git repository, and registers the application in the Backstage catalog for tracking and management.

## Use Case

The template is designed for teams needing a streamlined approach to deploy applications in Kubernetes while automatically configuring their CI/CD pipelines. It performs the following:

* **Deployment Creation**: A Kubernetes Deployment YAML is generated based on the provided application name, specifying a basic setup with an Nginx container.
* **Repository Setup**: Publishes the deployment code in a Gitea repository, allowing for version control and future updates.
* **ArgoCD Integration**: Automatically creates an ArgoCD application for the deployment, facilitating continuous delivery and synchronization with Kubernetes.
* **Backstage Registration**: Registers the application in Backstage to make it discoverable and manageable via the Backstage catalog.

This template enhances productivity by automating several steps required for deployment, version control, and registration, making it ideal for projects where fast, consistent deployment and centralized management are required.
