Kubernetes for Developers

Overview of this book

Kubernetes is documented and typically approached from the perspective of someone running software that has already been built. Kubernetes may also be used to enhance the development process, enabling more consistent testing and analysis of code to help developers verify not only its correctness, but also its efficiency. This book introduces key Kubernetes concepts, coupled with examples of how to deploy and use them with a bit of Node.js and Python example code, so that you can quickly replicate and use that knowledge. You will begin by setting up Kubernetes to help you develop and package your code. We walk you through the setup and installation process before working with Kubernetes in the development environment. We then delve into concepts such as automating your build process, autonomic computing, debugging, and integration testing. This book covers all the concepts required for a developer to work with Kubernetes. By the end of this book, you will be in a position to use Kubernetes in development ecosystems.

Summary


In this chapter, we delved into how to use Kubernetes when testing your code. We looked at the patterns you might explore with integration testing. We pointed at a simple example of using shell scripts to run integration tests within Kubernetes, and then dove more deeply into examples using Python and Node.js that run integration tests using Kubernetes. Finally, we wrapped up the chapter with an overview of options that are readily available for continuous integration that can use a cluster, and explored two options: using Travis.CI as a hosted solution and how to use Jenkins on your own Kubernetes cluster.

In the next chapter, we will look at how we can pull together multiple pieces that we have explored and show how to benchmark your code running on Kubernetes.
