Mastering Kubernetes: A Guide for Java Developers🚀

Introduction

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, enabling Java developers to efficiently manage microservices. In this guide, we will explore Kubernetes from a Java developer's perspective.

Why Kubernetes for Java?

Java applications often need scalability, load balancing, and self-healing features. Kubernetes helps in: 1 . Managing Spring Boot microservices
2 . Automating CI/CD pipelines
3. Handling service discovery and failover

Setting Up a Java App on Kubernetes

1. Create a Dockerfile for Java App

FROM openjdk:17
WORKDIR /app
COPY target/myapp.jar myapp.jar
CMD ["java", "-jar", "myapp.jar"]

2. Build and Push Docker Image

    docker build -t myrepo/myapp:1.0 .
    docker push myrepo/myapp:1.0
   

   3. Deploy on Kubernetes

    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: java-app
    spec:
      replicas: 3
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: java-app
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: java-app
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: java-app
            image: myrepo/myapp:1.0
            ports:
            - containerPort: 8080

4. Apply to Kubernetes

    kubectl apply -f java-app-deployment.yaml
