# Deploy To CKAN Cloud
As a developer, you will need to create, update, and deploy instances to Datopian servers. CKAN portals hosted by Datopian are living on Google Cloud Platform run by Kubernetes engine.
# Prerequisites
- Make sure you have access to Datopian Jenkins (opens new window) account
- Make sure you have write permissions to Datopian Gitlab account (opens new window)
TIP
Please contact [email protected] if you don’t have access to the Jenkins account or permissions to Datopian GitLab repos.
If you have developer permissions on GitLab, you will be able to create a new repository, but you won’t be able to push to it. This is because there won’t be a default branch, and you will need to contact someone with at least maintainer permissions to create one for you, or change your permissions.
