How-to Guides

Install the Cloud Code extension

• Install the Cloud Code extension

  Install the Cloud Code extension for your IDE.

Using pre-release features

• Use pre-release features

  Join the Insiders program and try pre-release Cloud Code features.

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.

• Develop a Kubernetes app with remote development

  Open your codebase in a remote container where your application is built, debugged, and deployed.

• 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.
