Description: Fresh Cloud by Initial Capacity describes how to build a modern application platform using kubernetes. This website and codebase will make you a better platform engineer.
Complete the instructions below to build your own modern application platform, a Heroku-like environment built on Kubernetes which will deploy your code from a Git repository to a production-grade Kubernetes cluster. Introduction This article was first introduced as a lecture at the University of Colorado in the Spring of 2021. The lecture was intended to give students a behind the scenes look at how a modern application platform works. Given that developer productivity and operator efficiency continues to
We’re almost done with all the components for our modern application platform. One last component: kpack , which gives us an implementation of a Cloud Native Buildpack . Installing kpack in our cluster will create the builder objects used by Kubernetes to create application containers. First install the kpack-cli binary on your local machine. wget https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/kpack-cli/releases/download/v0.4.2/kp-darwin-0.4.2 -O /usr/local/bin/kp chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/kp Next deploy the kpack build se
We’ve now configured each of the components that contribute to our pipeline. Let’s deploy our application! Application deployment Let’s deploy our application. We created a light-weight command line interface (CLI) called freshctl to manage your applications. Run freshctl from the bin directory to test the CLI. ./freshctl endpoints The freshctl CLI takes a file or an application configuration as an argument. You'll see an example application called kotlin-ktor-starter in the apps directory. There are only t
