--- title: Workload with Ingress Quick Start --- ### Prerequisite You have a running cluster with at least 1 node. ### 1. Deploying a Workload You're ready to create your first Kubernetes [workload](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/workloads/). A workload is an object that includes pods along with other files and info needed to deploy your application. For this workload, you'll be deploying the application Rancher Hello-World. 1. From the **Clusters** page, open the cluster that you just created. 2. From the main menu of the **Dashboard**, select **Projects/Namespaces**. 3. Open the **Project: Default** project. 4. Click **Resources > Workloads.** In versions before v2.3.0, click **Workloads > Workloads.** 5. Click **Deploy**. **Step Result:** The **Deploy Workload** page opens. 6. Enter a **Name** for your workload. 7. From the **Docker Image** field, enter `rancher/hello-world`. This field is case-sensitive. 8. Leave the remaining options on their default setting. We'll tell you about them later. 9. Click **Launch**. **Result:** * Your workload is deployed. This process might take a few minutes to complete. * When your workload completes deployment, it's assigned a state of **Active**. You can view this status from the project's **Workloads** page.
### 2. Expose The Application Via An Ingress Now that the application is up and running it needs to be exposed so that other services can connect. 1. From the **Clusters** page, open the cluster that you just created. 2. From the main menu of the **Dashboard**, select **Projects**. 3. Open the **Default** project. 4. Click **Resources > Workloads > Load Balancing.** In versions before v2.3.0, click the **Workloads** tab. Click on the **Load Balancing** tab. 5. Click **Add Ingress**. 6. Enter a name i.e. **hello**. 7. In the **Target** field, drop down the list and choose the name that you set for your service. 8. Enter `80` in the **Port** field. 9. Leave everything else as default and click **Save**. **Result:** The application is assigned a `sslip.io` address and exposed. It may take a minute or two to populate. ### View Your Application From the **Load Balancing** page, click the target link, which will look something like `hello.default.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.sslip.io > hello-world`. Your application will open in a separate window. #### Finished Congratulations! You have successfully deployed a workload exposed via an ingress. #### What's Next? When you're done using your sandbox, destroy the Rancher Server and your cluster.
