+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Ensure you have the following environment variables set before running the application:
+
+- `TRAINING_IMAGE`
+- `SERVING_IMAGE`
+- `NAMESPACE`
+- `SERVING_PORT`
+- `PERSISTENCE_SERVICE_URI`
+- `DOMAIN`
+
+These environment variables are essential for the application to interact with Kubernetes and handle the deployment configurations.
