Cloud Code provides IDE support for the full development cycle of Kubernetes applications, from creating a cluster to supporting you along the way with deploy-ready samples and out-of-the-box configuration snippets to deploying your finished application and providing a tailored debugging experience — making developing with Kubernetes a whole lot easier!
While Cloud Code works with any Kubernetes cluster, it provides a streamlined GKE experience for easy creation of clusters hosted on Google Cloud Platform and better integration with GCP tools like Cloud Source Repositories, Cloud Storage and a variety of Cloud libraries.
You can use Cloud Code with either VS Code or IntelliJ.
