Chapter 10. Integrating with Kubernetes

So far, you’ve been learning how to develop and run Quarkus applications on bare-metal, but where Quarkus really shines is when it is running in a Kubernetes cluster.

In this chapter, you’ll learn about the integration between Quarkus and Kubernetes, and how several extensions can help develop and deploy a Quarkus service for Kubernetes.

Kubernetes is becoming the de facto platform to deploy applications; for this reason it is important to have a good understanding of Kubernetes and how to correctly develop and deploy applications on it.

In this chapter, you’ll learn how to accomplish the following tasks:

  • Generate Kubernetes resources

  • Deploy a Quarkus service

  • Develop a Kubernetes operator

  • Deploy a service in Knative
