# Deploy a SingleStore Cluster

Now that your various object definition files are created, you will use `kubectl` to do the actual object creation and cluster deployment.

1. Create the RBAC resources.
   ```shell
   kubectl create -f  sdb-rbac.yaml

   ```

2. Create the cluster resource definition.
   ```shell
   kubectl create -f sdb-cluster-crd.yaml

   ```

3. When deploying on OpenShift, the recommended deployment method, perform this step.
   ```shell
   oc get namespace <the-namespace-you-want-to-deploy-in> \
   -o=jsonpath='{.metadata.annotations.openshift\.io/sa\.scc\.supplemental-groups}{"\n"}'

   ```
   This command will display output similar to `1096160000/10000`. Note that the actual numbers may differ.

   Copy the number before the slash (`/`) and replace the value in `--fs-group-id` (which is currently `5555`) with this number in the [sdb-operator.yaml](https://docs.singlestore.com/db/v9.1/deploy/kubernetes/create-the-object-definition-files/sdb-operator-yaml.md) file.

4. Deploy the Operator.
   ```shell
   kubectl create -f sdb-operator.yaml

   ```

5. Verify the deployment was successful by checking the status of the pods in your Kube cluster. You should see the Operator with a status of `Running`.
   ```shell
   kubectl get pods

   ```

6. Finally, create the cluster.
   ```shell
   kubectl create -f sdb-cluster.yaml

   ```

7. After a couple minutes, run `kubectl get pods` again to verify the aggregator and leaf nodes all started and have a status of `Running`.
   ```shell
   kubectl get pods

   ```
   If you see no pods are in the `Running` state, then run `kubectl get statefulsets` to see if the statefulsets are running. If you need to debug an inoperable cluster, check the Operator logs by running `kubectl logs deployment sdb-operator` and then look at the various objects to see what is failing.
