Nice! You’ve created a deployment using:

```bash
kubectl create deployment demo-app --image=nginx
```

Now let's **verify** and **access** the app inside your Minikube cluster.

---

## ✅ Step 1: Verify the Deployment and Pod

```bash
kubectl get deployments
kubectl get pods
```

You should see something like:

```
NAME        READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
demo-app    1/1     1            1           30s

NAME                         READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
demo-app-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx    1/1     Running   0          30s
```

---

## 🌐 Step 2: Expose It as a Service

To access it in your browser (or via curl), expose the deployment as a service:

```bash
kubectl expose deployment demo-app --type=NodePort --port=80
```

This creates a Kubernetes Service of type `NodePort` — it maps port `80` inside the container to a random high port on the Minikube VM.

---

## 🚀 Step 3: Access the App

Use this to open it in your **browser** automatically:

```bash
minikube service demo-app
```

It will open the default browser to something like:
```
http://192.168.xx.xx:30000
```

Alternatively, run:
```bash
minikube service demo-app --url
```

You'll get a URL you can copy and visit manually.

---

Let me know if you want to:
- Use a custom domain (like `demo.local`)
- Expose it externally from a cloud cluster
- Or deploy a more complex app like Tomcat, Spring Boot, etc.

Happy K8s-ing! ☸️🔥
