A practical guide to solving inner development loop problems in cloud-native applications by automating build, push, and deploy boilerplate using SkaffoldKey FeaturesLearn how to build and deploy cloud-native applications quickly with KubernetesCreate a production-ready continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline for cloud-native appsDiscover ways to create a GitOps-style CD workflow for cloud-native applicationsBook DescriptionKubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, drastically improving how we deploy and manage cloud-native apps. Although it has simplified the lives of support professionals, we cannot say the same for developers who need to be equipped with better tools to increase productivity. An automated workflow that solves a wide variety of problems that every developer faces can make all the difference!Enter Skaffold – a command-line tool that automates the build, push, and deploy steps for Kubernetes applications.This book is divided into three parts, starting with common challenges encountered by developers in building apps with Kubernetes. The second part covers Skaffold features, its architecture, supported container image builders, and more. In the last part, you'll focus on practical implementation, learning how to deploy Spring Boot apps to cloud platforms such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using Skaffold. You'll also create CI/CD pipelines for your cloud-native apps with Skaffold. Although the examples covered in this book are written in Java and Spring Boot, the techniques can be applied to apps built using other technologies too.By the end of this Skaffold book, you'll develop skills that will help accelerate your inner development loop and be able to build and deploy your apps to the Kubernetes cluster with Skaffold.What you will learnOvercome challenges faced while working in an inner development loop using SkaffoldAccelerate your development workflow using SkaffoldUnderstand Skaffold s architecture, internal working, and supported CLI commandsBuild and deploy containers to Kubernetes using the Skaffold CLI and Cloud CodeDeploy Spring Boot applications to fully managed Kubernetes services such as Google Kubernetes Engine using SkaffoldExplore best practices for developing an app with SkaffoldAvoid common pitfalls when developing cloud-native apps with Skaffold in KubernetesWho this book is forCloud-native application developers, software engineers working with Kubernetes, and DevOps professionals who are looking for a solution to simplify and improve their software development life cycle will find this book useful. Beginner-level knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and the container ecosystem is required to get started with this book.

Discover how to become a more efficient Java developer using Docker. This book will help you streamline your development process, boost portability, and enhance the efficiency of your applications.Docker has transformed the landscape of application and deployment by simplifying the creation and management of development environments, saving valuable time and reducing compatibility issues. With this book, you will learn how to package Java applications into Docker containers, making them consistent and portable across different environments. As a result, you’ll gain the expertise to efficiently scale and manage your applications, ensuring they run smoothly in production to boost development efficiency. This book sets itself apart through its emphasis on Java developers’ specific needs and challenges, providing relevant examples and use cases. The hands-on practical approach provides you with the necessary skills to be a more valuable Java developer. What You Will LearnUnderstand the fundamental concepts of Docker and containerizationPackage Java applications into Docker containersGain hands-on experience in Dockerizing Java applicationsEfficiently test, debug, deploy, and scale Java applications using DockerAcquire skills that will make you a more valuable and efficient Java developer Who This Book Is ForJava developers who want to make their applications more portable and easier to manage
