Chapter 7: Building and Deploying a Spring Boot Application with the Cloud Code Plugin
In the previous chapter, we learned about Skaffold-supported container image builders and deployers. In this chapter, we will introduce you to Google's Cloud Code plugin, which is available with IDEs such as IntelliJ. We will create a Spring Boot application and use the Cloud Code plugin to deploy it to a local Kubernetes cluster.
In this chapter, we're going to cover the following main topics:
- Introducing Google's Cloud Code plugin
- Installing and working with the IntelliJ Cloud Code plugin
- Creating a Spring Boot application
- Containerizing and deploying a Spring Boot application using Cloud Code
By the end of this chapter, you will have a solid understanding of the Cloud Code plugin and how you can use it to accelerate the development life cycle of a Kubernetes application using an IDE.
