Skaffold is a command line tool developed by Google which aims to facilitate continuous development for Kubernetes applications. It will automate the task of building and deploying to a Kubernetes cluster whereas you, as a developer, can stay focused on writing code. Seems interesting enough to take a closer look at it!

First Steps with GCP Kubernetes Engine
The past year, we wrote some articles using Minikube as Kubernetes cluster in order to experiment with. In this post, we will take our first steps into Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and more specifically of Kubernetes Engine. Let’s see whether going to the Cloud makes our lives even easier ;-). We will create a GCP account, create a Kubernetes cluster, deploy our application manually and deploy by means of Helm.
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.

Create, install, upgrade, rollback a Helm Chart (part 1)
In this post we will explain how we can use Helm for installing our application. In part 1 we will take a look 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).
