--- title: Workload with NodePort 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. Click **☰ > Cluster Management**. 1. From the **Clusters** page, go to the cluster where the workload should be deployed and click **Explore**. 1. Click **Workload**. 1. Click **Create**. 1. Enter a **Name** for your workload. 1. From the **Container Image** field, enter `rancher/hello-world`. This field is case-sensitive. 1. Click **Add Port**. 1. From the **Service Type** drop-down, make sure that **NodePort** is selected. ![As a dropdown, NodePort (On every node selected)](/img/nodeport-dropdown.png) 1. From the **Publish the container port** field, enter port `80`. ![Publish the container port, 80 entered](/img/container-port-field.png) 1. Click **Create**. **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. Viewing Your Application From the **Workloads** page, click the link underneath your workload. If your deployment succeeded, your application opens. ### Attention: Cloud-Hosted Sandboxes When using a cloud-hosted virtual machine, you may not have access to the port running the container. In this event, you can test Nginx in an ssh session on the local machine using `Execute Shell`. Use the port number after the `:` in the link under your workload if available, which is `31568` in this example. ```html gettingstarted@rancher:~$ curl http://localhost:31568 Rancher

Hello world!

My hostname is hello-world-66b4b9d88b-78bhx

gettingstarted@rancher:~$ ``` ### Finished Congratulations! You have successfully deployed a workload exposed via a NodePort. #### What's Next? When you're done using your sandbox, destroy the Rancher Server and your cluster.
