### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/knative/cli-reference/deploy/) # Knative - deploy The `serverless deploy` command deploys your entire service. ```bash serverless deploy ``` ## Options - `--config` or `-c` Name of your configuration file, if other than `serverless.yml|.yaml|.js|.json`. - `--stage` or `-s` The stage in your service that you want to deploy to. ## Artifacts After the `serverless deploy` command runs, the Framework runs `serverless package` in the background first then deploys the service. During the deployment, the Framework creates a Kubernetes namespace (called `sls-{service}-{stage}`) which is used to host all your Kubernetes / Knative resources. ## Examples ### Deployment without stage options ```bash serverless deploy ``` This is the simplest deployment usage possible. With this command Serverless will deploy your service to the defined provider in the default stage (`dev`). ### Deployment with stage option ```bash serverless deploy --stage prod ``` With this example we've defined that we want our service to be deployed to the `prod` stage.
