Preface

Tooling around Kubernetes has changed drastically over the years, given the hype around it. More and more developers are looking for tools that can help them get started quickly with Kubernetes. It also causes some confusion among developers: which tool they should use in order to spend less time configuring their local setup, or writing scripts to automate their inner dev loop workflow? Moreover, developers require better tools while working with Kubernetes because the focus should be on the task at hand, that is, coding, rather than agonizing about how and where they will deploy an application. Ideally, you would prefer a tool that provides extensibility to support various use cases.

This book will show you how to solve inner development loop intricacies in cloud-native applications by automating build, push, and deploy boilerplate using Skaffold.
