Google's Cloud Code Extends IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code To Kubernetes Apps (venturebeat.com)

Posted by msmash on from the interesting-developments dept.

An anonymous reader writes: If you were paying close attention during Google Cloud Next 2019 yesterday, you may have heard talk of Cloud Code. The new developer tool was only mentioned briefly, but today Google offered more details. Cloud Code extends two Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), IntelliJ and Visual Studio Code, to cloud-native Kubernetes applications. Google's message here is that moving to the cloud isn't just about data. It can also be about code, and the developers who write it. IDEs are designed for editing, compiling, and debugging code for local applications. Google wants to adapt them to developing applications for the cloud.

    Google released plugins for IntelliJ based IDEs and VS Code (which isn't an IDE, its more of a text editor on lots of steroids) to add Kubernetes functionality, along the same lines as the Docker functionality that already exists as a plugin. The plugins basically allow you to interact with the deployed parts of the application you are currently working on, without switching contexts to another window.

    Its neat, but its nothing mind blowing - its akin to having source control integration. Never the less, congrats Google!

    It sounded cool at first, then it turned out to be 2 gen old rental beige boxes with a seriously crippled feature set. I'd rather mine bitcoin with an abacus than f*ck around with Docker and Kubernetes.

      I think the real perceived value of the cloud for many companies is how much easier it (can) make it for them to be acquired. The product is already running on somebody else's computers. It may as well be running on somebody else's somebody else's computers.

      I hate the cloud buzzword, but the idea does have value.

      In order to try out certain applications in a business you would have to get a giant budget approved for hardware - and that hardware is expensive, and useless if your pilot fails (unless you can repurpose it).

      Cloud allows you rapidly try and fail without needing the same kind of stupid, circular budget arguments - and you can quickly scale if your stuff is successful and needs it (not counting the endless change control processes in most businesses). You will still get stupid circular arguments... just slightly fewer.
