This blog post, co-authored by Kit Merker of JFrog and Raziel Tabib of Codefresh, explores the essential components necessary for effectively running applications on Kubernetes. It emphasizes the importance of Kubernetes pipelines, which automate the building, testing, and deploying of containerized applications, and the significance of a Kubernetes registry that comprehends the structure and dependencies of applications. The authors discuss the benefits of using a Kubernetes cluster, which can handle applications in various languages and operating systems, and highlight the need for a robust infrastructure that includes Docker registries, Helm Charts, and Kubernetes manifests. JFrog Artifactory and Codefresh are presented as solutions that provide comprehensive support and streamline the deployment process, with both offering free trials to encourage exploration. The post also references upcoming events such as KubeCon and swampUP, where further information and demonstrations can be accessed.
