Are you tired of managing Kubernetes resources through complex configuration processes? Look no further than No-Code Kubernetes with Harpoon Docker Extension. With No-Code Kubernetes, you can simplify your Kubernetes resource management with features such as declarative configuration, self-healing, and service discovery. The Harpoon Docker Extension further simplifies the process with a no-code interface, custom software integration, and third-party integration capabilities. In this expert series, we will dive into the benefits of No-Code Kubernetes and the Harpoon Docker Extension, offering guidance on effectively managing Kubernetes clusters with Harpoon.
Kubernetes is an orchestration tool that provides a managed execution environment for deploying, running, managing, and orchestrating containers across clusters. No-Code Kubernetes refers to the use of visual interfaces and drag-and-drop tools to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters and applications without writing any code.
The advantage of using No-Code Kubernetes is that developers and DevOps teams can effortlessly handle Kubernetes resources like pods, services, and deployments without requiring advanced coding expertise. No-Code Kubernetes platforms also offer features such as automatic scaling, monitoring, and logging, making it easier for teams to manage their applications in a Kubernetes environment.
Developing a microservices application involves utilizing numerous tools, and when these tools are decentralized, it becomes even more challenging to install, manage, and utilize them. That's where Docker Extensions come in. Docker Extensions are third-party tools to extend Docker's functionality. The Docker Extension that is used for the No-Code Kubernetes is the Harpoon Docker Extension.
With the use of No-Code, Harpoon can make a production environment ready with built-in security in very little time. Harpoon enables users to easily deploy software by providing a simple search, drag and drop, and the software will be running in seconds. It has integration with GitHub to build and deploy custom software.
The below diagram shows how No-Code Kubernetes works with Harpoon:
The high-level phases in Harpoon include:
Here are some of the best practices for deploying No-code Kubernetes:
Let us now look at the advantages of using the Harpoon Docker Extension:
Harpoon provides a No-Code interface to manage Kubernetes clusters.
Resources can be managed using visual drag and drop. Container images from Docker Hub, source, or private container registries are also included.
Harpoon by default provides built-in security while creating a cluster.
Harpoon will notify you if there is any problem with the cluster and automatically restore and roll back to a stable environment in real-time.
You can connect Harpoon with custom software repositories and set up an automated deployment pipeline.
It provides the ability to separate deployments into different projects. Physically projects are on the same cluster but are separated logically so that the projects cannot interconnect with each other.
Currently, Harpoon can be integrated with third-party providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), VMware, GitHub, Docker Hub, and Harbor.
It helps to simplify the deployment process with drag and drop into your Kubernetes environment.
According to a report by Grand View Research, Inc. titled "No-Code/Low-Code Automation,” the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.2% from 2020 to 2027.
