Summary
In this chapter, you learned how to use the Cloud Code plugin developed by Google to do a single-click deployment of your Kubernetes applications from your IDE. We started this chapter by explaining the various features of Cloud Code. In the example, we explained how we could use the startup templates provided by Cloud Code to write, build, and deploy your Java applications from your IDE. Then, we created a Spring Boot application that uses Dekorate to generate Kubernetes manifests at compile time. Finally, we containerized and deployed the Spring Boot application to a local Minikube cluster.
By doing this, you have discovered how you can use Cloud Code to increase your productivity while developing cloud-native applications.
The next chapter will talk about how we can deploy a Spring Boot application to the Google Kubernetes Engine.
