Kubernetes-ize your Java Application

Deploying your Java application in a Kubernetes cluster could feel like Alice in Wonderland. You keep going down the rabbit hole and don’t know how to make that ride comfortable. This no-slide and code-only session will explain how a Java application consisting of different microservices can be deployed in a Kubernetes cluster.

Specifically, it will explain the following:

• Show a Java application with three microservices
• How this application is packaged as a Docker image
• Create Kubernetes manifests
• How Helm charts are created and hosted in a Helm repository
• Test in a local environment such as minikube
• Attach debugger (may need to find out if tooling exists in this area)
• Install Istio in k8s, show service visibility
• Install k8s on AWS
• Migrate application from a local cluster to a cluster on the Cloud
• Setup deployment pipeline using CodePipeline
• Use an Alexa skill to scale the application
• Change application, show A/B using Istio
