Work with Kubernetes

Overview of Kubernetes in Cloud Code

Get an overview of Cloud Code Kubernetes development capabilities.

Get started with Cloud Code for Kubernetes

Create a Kubernetes application from a template using Cloud Code.

Use minikube for local development

Create and deploy a local minikube cluster using a template or your own application.

Store your container images

Define the container image repository for your project.

Create and configure a GKE cluster

Create and deploy a Kubernetes cluster with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

Configure a private cluster

Use Cloud Code to connect to private clusters with and without public endpoint access and permit private clusters to access resources from outside Google Cloud.

Use an existing Kubernetes application

Create a skaffold.yaml file for your Kubernetes run configuration using Cloud Code's automatic configuration creation, or manually with templating assistance.

Develop a Kubernetes app with remote development

Open your codebase in a remote container where your application is built, debugged, and deployed.

Debug Kubernetes applications

Debug your Kubernetes application without manual setup on a local cluster or any Cloud provider.

View Kubernetes logs

View streaming logs from your application and check the status of resources from within Cloud Code.

Explore your build options with buildpacks, Jib, or Docker

Select or edit your build settings and set up Skaffold profiles for build, test, and deployment contexts.

Deploy your applications to ARM64, AMD64, or mixed-architecture GKE clusters

Add an environment variable in your IDE or a parameter in your skaffold.yaml file that specifies what platform to build, which overrides Skaffold's automatic detection.

Speed up development

Take advantage of file sync and hot reloading, automatic deployment on save, and use Skaffold modules for microservices applications using Skaffold configurations.

Work with kubeconfig files

Organize cluster access, users, and contexts using Kubernetes configuration files.

Edit YAML

Explore Cloud Code's YAML editing assistant features including schema based validation, diagnostics, and quick documentation.

Work with Cloud Run

Work with Cloud Functions
