Speed up Development with Docker Compose
Assume a new developer or test engineer is added to your team. You develop an application with obviously some kind of database and you want them to get up to speed as soon as possible. You could ask them to install the application and database themselves or you could support them with it, but this would cause a lot of effort. What if you handed them over a simple YAML file which would get them up to speed in a few minutes? In this post we will explore some of the capabilities of Docker Compose in order to accomplish this.
Create, install, upgrade, rollback a Helm Chart (part 2)
In part 1 of this post we explained how we can create a Helm Chart for our application and how to package it. In part 2 we will cover how to install the Helm package to a Kubernetes cluster, how to upgrade our Helm Chart and how to rollback our Helm Chart.

Deploy to Kubernetes with Helm
In this post we will take a closer look at Helm: a package manager for Kubernetes. We will take a look at the terminology used, install the Helm Client and Server, deploy an existing packaged application and take a look at some useful Helm commands.
Introducing Red Hat CDK
This week, we will take a look at Red Hat Container Development Kit (CDK). CDK provides a pre-built Container Development Environment based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux to help you develop container-based applications quickly. We will install CDK on a Windows machine and deploy our mykubernetesplanet Docker image from our last post to the Kubernetes cluster.
Build and deploy a Spring Boot app on Minikube (part 2)
In part 1 of this post, we learned how to create a Spring Boot application, create a Docker image for it and push it to a Docker registry. At the end, we installed Minikube in an Ubuntu VM. In this second part, we will get familiar with some Kubernetes terminology, deploy the application to our Minikube cluster and update the application. The sources used for the application can be found at GitHub. The Docker registry which we use can be found here (or you can use your own Docker registry).
