What is it?

Spring Cloud Kubernetes provides implementations of common Spring Cloud interfaces, such as the Discovery Client and configuration sources, so that Spring Cloud applications can run on Kubernetes using the platform's own resources.

The project is aimed at teams building cloud-native Spring applications who want to use Kubernetes in place of separate infrastructure for these concerns. It is optional: a plain Spring Boot app can be deployed to Kubernetes without it.

The project is written in Java for Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Its reference documentation lists the available configuration properties. Native image and Spring Boot AOT support are not available at this time.

Key features

  • 01Implements the Spring Cloud Discovery Client on top of Kubernetes services
  • 02Provides Kubernetes-backed configuration sources for Spring applications
  • 03Integrates with the Spring Boot and Spring Cloud ecosystem
  • 04Includes a published appendix listing all Kubernetes-related configuration properties

Use cases

  • Building microservices with Spring Cloud that run on a Kubernetes cluster
  • Using Kubernetes resources for service discovery between Spring services
  • Managing Spring application configuration through Kubernetes-native sources

Things to know

  • Does not support Spring Boot AOT transformations or native images.
