Section 2: Getting Started with Skaffold

In this section, we will cover Skaffold features and internal architecture. We will try to understand some diagrams depicting how Skaffold works. We will also learn how to bootstrap our project with Skaffold by covering some basics of the Skaffold configuration file. We will learn about Skaffold installation and various commands that we can use in different pipeline stages, that is, init, build, and deploy. Then, finally, in this section, we explain different ways of building and deploying container images with Skaffold.

In this section, we have the following chapters:

• Chapter 4, Understanding Skaffold's Features and Architecture
• Chapter 5, Installing Skaffold and Demystifying Its Pipeline Stages
• Chapter 6, Working with Skaffold Container Image Builders and Deployers
