Getting Started

The Software Development Life-Cycle

The Cloud-Native Toolkit supports the full Software Development Life-Cycle (SDLC). Often, we break the life-cycle into three “days” to describe the distinct phases through the development process. These phases are often performed iteratively, revisiting the activities of each “day” as more information is learned and new requirements are understood. The following “Getting Started” sections walk through using the Toolkit through each phase of the overall development life-cycle.

Try it your self using the workshop environment, you will be able to setup and try hands on labs within minutes

Try - Workshop

Plan and create the environments that will be used for development and production, including the supporting tools

Day 0 - Install

Get started developing applications using cloud-native practices and approaches to deliver code efficiently with quality from the start

Day 1 - Build and deploy

Promote applications using cloud-native practices then monitor, manage, and support the application through operations processes

Day 2 - Run and manage

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, be sure to walk through the Cloud-Native Toolkit prerequisites and set up the Cloud-Native Toolkit developer environment. The developer environment setup will install a number of tools that are essential for cloud-native provisioning, development, and operations.

CLI overview

One of the components of the Cloud-Native Toolkit is the IGC CLI that provides a set of commands to simplify common tasks that are performed often by all the personas during the cloud-native software development life-cycle. The IGC CLI documentation aims to make known the various commands that are available and de-mystify what actions it performs.
