   Parameter	Description
   Name	The name of the application.
   Namespace	The namespace in which the application is deployed. If you do not set this field, the system uses the default namespace.
   Replicas	The number of pods in an application. Default value: 2.
   Type	The type of the application. You can select Deployments, StatefulSets, Jobs, Cron Jobs, and DaemonSets.
   Label	Add one or more labels to the application.
   Annotations	Add one or more annotations to the application.
   Synchronize Timezone	Specify whether to synchronize the timezone from nodes to containers.

   Note In this example, Deployments is selected as the application type.
7. Click Next.
   The Container step appears.
8. Configure the container parameters.
   This example describes how to configure the volume parameters. For more information about other parameters, see Use an image to create a stateless application.

   You can add local volumes and cloud volumes.

   • Local storage: You can select HostPath, ConfigMap, Secret, or EmptyDir from the PV Type drop-down list. Then, specify Mount Source and Container Path to mount a source path to a container path. For more information, see Volumes.
   • Cloud storage: You can add cloud volumes.

   In this example, specify csi-disk-pvc as Mount Source and mount it to the /tmp path in the container. In this case, data generated in the /tmp path is stored on the disk.
9. Set other parameters and click Create.
   After you create the application, you can use the disk in the application.

You can also use a disk by running commands. For more information, see Use static disk volumes.
