Getting Started

This sample was written to demonstrate how to use the Cloud Code extension for Visual Studio code.

• Install Cloud Code for VS Code
• Creating a new app
• Editing YAML files

---

Using the Command Line

As an alternative to using the Cloud Code extension, the application can be deployed to a cluster using standard command line tools

Skaffold

Skaffold is a command line tool that can be used to build, push, and deploy your container images

skaffold run --default-repo=gcr.io/your-project-id-here/cloudcode

kubectl

kubectl is the official Kubernetes command line tool. It can be used to deploy Kubernetes manifests to your cluster, but images must be build seperately using another tool (for example, using the Docker CLI)
