Prow: Streamlined Kubernetes Development

This project is experimental, and has not hit a stable release point

Prow is a developer tool for creating cloud native applications for Kubernetes.

TL;DR

Start from your source code repository and let Prow transform it for Kubernetes:

$ cd my-app
$ ls
app.py
$ prow new my-app --pack=python
--> Created ./charts/my-app
--> Created ./charts/my-app/Dockerfile
--> Ready to sail

Now start it up!

$ prow up
--> Building Dockerfile
--> Pushing my-app:latest
--> Deploying to Kubernetes
--> Ready at 10.21.77.7:8080

That’s it! You’re now running your Python app in a Kubernetes cluster.

Behind the scenes, Prow is handling the heavy lifting for you:

• It uses your existing Dockerfile, or creates one for you
• It builds a container image, and pushes it to a registry
• It creates a Helm chart for deploying into Kubernetes
• Using Helm, it deploys your release

From there, you can either let Prow continually rebuild your app, or you can manually re-run Prow to update the existing app.

Features

• Prow is language agnostic
• Prow will work with any Kubernetes cluster that supports Helm
• One it scaffolds your chart, you can leave the chart alone, or you can edit it to your specific needs.
• Charts can be packaged and delivered to your ops team
