The software development cycle is mainly composed of two loops, one closer to the developer’s inner-loop; where you code, test, debug iteratively. And one further away is the outer-loop; where your code runs inside a container image you must build, push and deploy.

As containers and Kubernetes become the de-facto standard fabric where to deploy our apps, it’s essential to prepare and boost local development into a so-called cloud-native workspace spanning the inner and outer loop.

In this session, attendees will get an overview of JKube, a collection of plugins and libraries for Java developers that facilitate containerization and deployment to Kubernetes in the Java way with Maven, Gradle, and a toolkit to package Java apps transparently.
