So how do you take a current application workload and move it to the Validated Pattern framework? One of the first things that you should do is look at your current implementation of your workload and identify the kubernetes manifests that are involved in order to run the workloads.

## Requirements for creating a new pattern

* The patterns framework requires some artifacts like OpenShift GitOps (ArgoCD) in order to provide the GitOps automation. All existing patterns use OpenShift GitOps as a starting point. The [multicloud-gitops pattern](/patterns/multicloud-gitops) is the most fundamental of patterns and therefore it is recommended to use it as a base pattern. I.e Create a new pattern based on it.

The `path:` tag tells OpenShift GitOps where to find the Helm charts needed to deploy this application (refer back to the [charts directory description](https://validatedpatterns.io/building-vps/structure/#the-charts-directory) for more details). OpenShift GitOps will continuously monitor for changes to artifacts in that location for updates to apply.
