Hi @Mariam !!

The best way is using our official helm.

Here is the doc for that:

> **[Kubernetes | Weaviate - Vector Database](https://weaviate.io/developers/weaviate/installation/kubernetes)**
>
> For a tutorial on how to use minikube to deploy Weaviate on Kubernetes, see the Weaviate Academy course, Weaviate on Kubernetes.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks!
