-## Deploying to Kubernetes as a TAP workload with Tilt
-
-You can containerize this template app and deploy it as a Tanzu Application Platform (TAP) workload.
-You need to have TAP installed on your cluster.
-See the [VMware Tanzu Application Platform documentation](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Application-Platform/index.html) for details.

-We have included a `Tiltfile` file to make this easier when deploying to a cluster.
-
-For best results use Tilt version v0.23.2 or later. You can install Tilt by following these instructions: https://docs.tilt.dev/install.html
