Creating an application

Creating an application from a template

Cloud Code comes with a collection of starter templates to get you started quickly. To create a Kubernetes application using an existing sample, follow these steps:

  1. Open File > New Project.
  2. Select Cloud Code: Kubernetes.
  3. Select a template from the list of starter applications. List of templates available: Python, Go, NodeJS, Java hello world and guestbook applications

  4. If you're using IntelliJ IDEA, you'll be prompted to specify where your container image is stored.

    Specify your default image repository within the field using the appropriate format

    For more details on container registry formats and image name creation, refer to the Configuring container image settings guide.

  5. Pick a name for your project.

    Once you click Finish, Cloud Code will clone your chosen template and open your newly created project for use.

    • For Java templates, you'll be prompted to import Maven projects to sync your pom.xml. Click 'Add as Maven project'.

    • Select the 'Run Configuration' drop down, and click 'Edit Configurations'.
    • Click the '+' Add New Configuration button to add a new Run Configuration.

    • Browse to 'Cloud Code: Kubernetes'.
