Work with Kubernetes

Cloud Code comes with end-to-end Kubernetes support, helping you create a new application from sample applications, customize and develop the application, and deploy and preview your finished app. Cloud Code also offers run-ready samples, out-of-the-box configuration snippets, and a tailored debugging experience.

Kubernetes development with Cloud Code

Beyond the tutorial, Cloud Shell has a lot to offer for Kubernetes development. Here's a snapshot of what Cloud Shell with integrated Cloud Code comes with:

• Support for Go, Node.js, Python, Java, and .NET
• Fully functional run and debug-ready starter applications
• Easy creation and editing of configuration files with sample applications, out-of-the-box snippets, and context-based completions
• One-click deploy of your applications from your browser
• 'Watch' mode to allow continuous building and real-time editing of your live application, helping you maintain a tight development inner loop
• Automatic port-forwarding and resource cleanup on application termination
• Debugging and logging support for applications running on Kubernetes clusters
• Cluster creation and management
• Support for minikube
