  • kubelogin

    kubectl plugin for Kubernetes OpenID Connect authentication (kubectl oidc-login)

  • Authenticating with Kyma is a (in my opinion) unnecessary challenge as it leverages the OIDC-login plugin for kubectl. You find a description of the setup here. This works fine when on a Mac but can give you some headaches on a Windows and on Linux machine especially when combined with restrictive setups in corporate environments. For Windows I can only recommend installing krew via chocolatey and then install the OIDC plugin via kubectl krew install oidc-login. At least for me that was the only way to get this working on Windows.

  • spin-operator

    Spin Operator is a Kubernetes operator that empowers platform engineers to deploy Spin applications as custom resources to their Kubernetes clusters

  • The team behind SpinKube provides some sample apps in their spin operator repository that you can use to test the setup and deploy a simple hello world app. Make sure that you reference the raw file from GitHub via:

  • kyma

    Kyma is an opinionated set of Kubernetes-based modular building blocks, including all necessary capabilities to develop and run enterprise-grade cloud-native applications.

  • Although I had the project on my radar, I never took a closer look at it. However, now it was the time to give it a spin ... or try. All I needed was a Kubernetes environment. As I am working in the SAP space the choice of Kubernetes is kind of predefined, namely Kyma in its managed version on the SAP Business Technology Platform.
