While you can configure deployments using command-line flags, we strongly recommend using a deployment.yaml file for all production workloads. This allows you to manage your infrastructure as code, ensuring consistency and enabling a GitOps workflow. To use a configuration file, pass its path using the --config-file flag: 
tensorkube deploy --config-file <path-to-config-file>

​
Configuration Reference

The following example shows all available parameters for a deployment.yaml file, with detailed inline documentation. You can use this as a reference and a starting point for your own configurations. The config file should be a YAML file with the following structure. All keys below are optional. If not provided, the default values will be used. 
# -- Hardware Configuration --

# (String) A unique name for your deployment. If not provided, the base name of the current directory will be used.
# Default: null
name: my-model

# (Integer) The number of GPUs to allocate to each replica.
# Default: 0
gpus: 1

# (String) The specific GPU model.
# Options: 'V100', 'A10G', 'T4', 'L4', 'L40S', 'A100', 'H100'
# Default: null
gpu_type: l4

# (Float) CPU cores to allocate, in millicores (e.g., 1000 = 1 vCPU).
# Default: 100.0
cpu: 2000

# (Float) RAM to allocate, in megabytes (MB).
# Default: 200.0
memory: 8192


# -- Scaling Configuration --

# (Integer) Minimum number of replicas to keep running. Can be 0 for scale-to-zero.
# Default: 0
min_scale: 0

# (Integer) Maximum number of replicas to scale out to under load.
# Default: 3
max_scale: 5

# (Integer) The number of concurrent requests a single replica can handle
# before the autoscaler adds a new one.
# Default: 100
concurrency: 50


# -- Application & Networking --

# (Integer) The port your container exposes for traffic.
# Default: 80
port: 8000

# (String) A custom domain to use for the endpoint. Requires CNAME configuration.
# Default: null
domain_name: my-model.mydomain.com

# (Object) Health check to verify your application is ready to serve traffic.
# This is crucial for robust, zero-downtime deployments.
# Default: null
readiness:
  httpGet:
    path: /healthz
    port: 8000


# -- Environment & Secrets --

# (String) The target environment for the deployment.
# Default: "default"
env: production

# (List of Strings) A list of secret names to mount as environment variables.
# See the Secrets guide for more details.
# Default: []
secret:
  - my-api-keys
  - hugging-face-token

# (Boolean) Set to true when deploying from a CI/CD pipeline like GitHub Actions.
# Default: false
github_actions: false
You can also use cli flags along with the config file. The options in config.yaml take more precedence than cli flags.
