## Setting Up the Cluster

1. Set up the new cluster in the [infrastructure] repository, mirroring the existing cluster
   configuration
2. In the Konflux UI, create a new Component for the Application with the same name as the git
   repository
3. Verify the Pipeline as Code `Repository` resource is created
4. Run two successive full pipelines in the [infrastructure] repository to deploy resources from
   [konflux/rendered.yml] and [fix up owner references][konflux-owner-references]
5. Delete the initial Component created from the UI
6. Disable Konflux build status comments (requires elevated permissions):

```bash
kubectl patch \
  --namespace hummingbird-tenant \
  repository REPOSITORY_NAME \
  --type merge \
  --patch '{"spec":{"settings":{"gitlab":{"comment_strategy":"disable_all"}}}}'
```
