Deployment for the network multi-tool

Copy the following deployment YAML content for the network multi-tool and create a file.

Modify the namespace to the one you want to install in.

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: network-multitool
  namespace: zcp-system
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      component: network-multitool
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        component: network-multitool
      name: network-multitool
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: network-multitool
        image: v2-zcr.cloudzcp.io/library/network-multitool
        imagePullPolicy: Always
