Deploy the stack:

```bash
$ pulumi up
```

This command instructs Pulumi to determine the resources needed to create the stack. A preview is shown of the changes that will be made:

```bash
Previewing update (dev)

     Type                              Name            Plan
 +   pulumi:pulumi:Stack               quickstart-dev  create
 +   └─ kubernetes:apps/v1:Deployment  app-dep         create


Outputs:
    name: "app-dep-92efcbdf"

Resources:
    + 2 to create
