SpringKubeBoot: Taking Spring Boot Microservices to Cloud via Kubernetes- Part 2

Continuing from our last session with covered Basics, we would move to set up Development Workflow with Intellij/eclipse and quickly build Spring Boot in Cloud Native way.

Being Java and Spring Application developer, we start with Spring Boot to build our services. But delivering your code to a data centre or cloud is still a challenge. We can use Docker for the deployment of the Spring Boot in the data centre/cloud. However, Docker only solves the problem to run anywhere but rarely one container builds the whole application. Kubernetes, which has taken the world by storm for container orchestration, is becoming defacto in all clouds. Services from all cloud providers like Amazon EKS, Microsoft AKS, Google GKE, Alibaba ACK, Redhat/IBM OpenSift and DigitalOcean Kubernetes allow you to write once and run on any cloud. We will carry your journey from Spring Boot to Docker to Kubernetes and demo how Application Develop Cloud-ready applications by learning the basics of Kubernetes.
