How-to Guides

Get started with Cloud Code

• Get started with Cloud Code for Cloud Shell

  Get acquainted with Cloud Code in the Cloud Shell.

Work with Kubernetes

• Overview of Kubernetes in Cloud Code

  Get an overview of Cloud Code Kubernetes development capabilities.

• Get started with Cloud Code for Kubernetes

  Create a Kubernetes application from a template using Cloud Code.

• Use minikube for local development

  Create and deploy a local minikube cluster using a template or your own application.

• Store your container images

  Define the container image repository for your project.

• Create and configure a GKE cluster

  Create and deploy a Kubernetes cluster with Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

• Configure a private cluster

  Use Cloud Code to connect to private clusters with and without public endpoint access and permit private clusters to access resources from outside Google Cloud.

• Use an existing Kubernetes application

  Create a skaffold.yaml file for your Kubernetes run configuration using Cloud Code's automatic configuration creation, or manually with templating assistance.

• Debug Kubernetes applications

  Debug your Kubernetes application without manual setup on a local cluster or any Cloud provider.

• View Kubernetes logs

  View streaming logs from your application and check the status of resources from within Cloud Code.

• Explore your build options with buildpacks, Jib, or Docker

  Select or edit your build settings and set up Skaffold profiles for build, test, and deployment contexts.

• Deploy your applications to ARM64, AMD64, or mixed-architecture GKE clusters

  Add an environment variable in your IDE or a parameter in your skaffold.yaml file that specifies what platform to build, which overrides Skaffold's automatic detection.

• Speed up development

  Take advantage of file sync and hot reloading, automatic deployment on save, and use Skaffold modules for microservices applications using Skaffold configurations.

• Work with kubeconfig files

  Organize cluster access, users, and contexts using Kubernetes configuration files.

• Edit YAML

  Explore Cloud Code's YAML editing assistant features including schema based validation, diagnostics, and quick documentation.

Work with Cloud Run

• Create a Cloud Run service from a template

  Create a Cloud Run service with Cloud Code using a sample application.

• Develop a Cloud Run service locally

  Developing a Cloud Run service locally using a Cloud Run emulator.

• Debug a Cloud Run service

  Debugging a Cloud Run service locally.

• Deploy a Cloud Run service

  Deploy a Cloud Run service with Cloud Code and preview it live.

• View Cloud Run logs

  View your Cloud Run logs in your IDE with Cloud Code's built-in support.

• Manage Cloud Run services

  Manage Cloud Run services in your IDE.

Cloud Client Libraries

• Migrate projects to local IDEs

  Migrate projects from Cloud Shell to your IDE to continue your development locally.

• Configure Cloud Code settings

  Configure Cloud Code settings like cluster resource completion, YAML formatting, and your Kubeconfig path.

• Manage Cloud APIs and libraries

  Browse, read documentation for, and manage Cloud APIs and client libraries for your projects with Cloud Code.

Skaffold modules

• Develop portions of an application independently

  Learn how to develop and debug parts of your application independently by splitting your application into Skaffold modules and defining dependencies.
