A NodeJS developer named Warlock, recently joined his dream company as an Enterprise Developer. On day 1, his boss gave him a Code Repository & his OpenShift Platform Credentials to work his magic. Warlock got his code, git clone https://github.com/sclorg/nodejs-ex But was unclear about how to proceed as he had no idea about OpenShift. He then referred to the OpenShift docs but got confused and overwhelmed by all the new terminologies, DeploymentConfigs, Pods, Services, and Routes mentioned in it....

While exploring, I came across ko tool by google & found interesting since it buids and deploy golang applications to kubernetes easily. This post is for minikube only since I am focussing on local development. Pre-Flight Checks Installing ko go get github.com/google/go-containerregistry/cmd/ko That’s it :) Verify your installation by which ko We can mention any docker registry (local or remote) using KO_DOCKER_REPO env variable, but as we are focussing on local development, we will publish images to minikube’s docker daemon...

Where’s client-go ? you can find it in kubernetes/kubernetes/staging directory and published by bot to k8s.io/client-go, kubernetes also uses client-go. it’s interesting if you see client-go from kubernetes vendor, it has symlinks to kubernetes/kubernetes/staging In this Adventure, very first step is to see how to connect to API Server :) Connecting to API Server There are two ways to talk to cluster using any go program: outside cluster: if your program is standalone and if you have either kubeconfig file or master URL....

we got restConfig and namespace, connection is set up Yay From this restconfig, Now we need to create respective clients for further operations we will need following package: import k8s.io/client-go/kubernetes create basic kubernetes client: kubeClient, err := kubernetes.NewForConfig(restConfig) it returns clients for APIgroups like: Apps CoreV1 Batch StorageV1 If you have some custom controller, generated code will have NewForConfig function which you have call separately, For example, In case of service catalog,...
