Deploy Cognite Data Fusion with the Cognite Toolkit

We recommend that you use the Cognite Toolkit to configure, deploy, and manage your Cognite Data Fusion projects.

The Cognite Toolkit ensures the integrity of the configuration and automates the deployment. It has a command line interface (CLI) that you can operate from your local computer or as a part of a CI/CD pipeline.
