  • kubectl configured to authenticate to the kubernetes cluster
  • Docker configured to use google container registry.

• Usage:

  • make all - Completes all required steps to deploy golang app, mysql instance, services and PV.
  • make prereq - Assures prerequisites are in place. Will install them if not. Sudo password is required for this.
  • make mysql - Creates DB instance and seeds data into it.
