 Connect your `kubectl` client to the cluster with which you want to test ExternalDNS, and then apply one of the following manifest files for deployment:
 
+Begin by creating a Kubernetes secret to securely store your CloudFlare API key. This key will enable ExternalDNS to authenticate with CloudFlare:
+```shell
+kubectl create secret generic NS1_APIKEY --from-literal=NS1_API_KEY=YOUR_NS1_API_KEY
+```
+
+Ensure to replace YOUR_NS1_API_KEY with your actual NS1 API key.
+
+Then apply one of the following manifests file to deploy ExternalDNS.
+
+## Using Helm
+
+Create a values.yaml file to configure ExternalDNS to use CloudFlare as the DNS provider. This file should include the necessary environment variables:
+```shell
+provider: 
+  name: ns1
+env:
+  - name: NS1_APIKEY
+    valueFrom:
+      secretKeyRef:
+        name: NS1_APIKEY
+        key: NS1_API_KEY
+```
+
+Finally, install the ExternalDNS chart with Helm using the configuration specified in your values.yaml file:
+```shell
+helm upgrade --install external-dns external-dns/external-dns --version 1.14.4 --values values.yaml
+```
