Deploying to Google Kubernetes Engine

Previously we looked at building a Spring Cloud Data Flow on Kubernetes. As a follow up, we’re now looking at deploying to Google Kubernetes Engine. The great thing about Kubernetes you use exactly the same commands to manage a cluster on your laptop as on a server or cloud compute platform. Google has first class support for Kubernetes on the Google Kubernetes Engine so deploying the Primer application was very straightforward.

Spring Cloud Data Flow on Kubernetes

Spring Cloud Data Flow is a powerful tool for composing and deploying message driven data pipelines. It allows us to compose simple Spring Cloud Stream applications into complex processing pipelines. It also takes care of deploying these pipelines into Kubernetes or into Cloud Foundry.

It’s powerful but has a lot of moving parts. It can be daunting to get a simple pipeline running. This article introduces the Primer demo for SCDF and describes how to deploy it into Kubernetes on a local development machine.
