# Examples

After [installing the CLI](install.md) and [creating a cluster](first-steps.md) we've collected a few Kubernetes example applications for deploying in your cluster. They highlight different features and give a first hands-on experience working with Kubernetes in a Constellation cluster. If you have experience with Kubernetes deployments there shouldn't be any sensible differences. Have fun exploring your Confidential Kubernetes!

Before trying out the example applications, make sure you [installed the Constellation CLI](install.md) and [created a cluster](first-steps.md). From there, the examples shown here are designed to work on a freshly created cluster and don't require any further prerequisites.

Check out the following examples:
* [Emojivoto](examples/emojivoto.md): A simple but fun demo application to test the general functionality of your confidential cluster.
* [Online Boutique](examples/online-boutique.md): An e-commerce demo application by Google consisting of 11 separate microservices.
* [Horizontal Pod Autoscaling](examples/horizontal-scaling.md): An example demonstrating Constellation's autoscaling capabilities.
