Getting Started with Editing and Applying Kubernetes Resources on PhpStorm

Kubernetes, the open-source platform for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, has become an essential tool for data scientists. PhpStorm, a popular IDE for PHP and web development, offers excellent support for Kubernetes. This blog post will guide you through the process of editing and applying Kubernetes resources on PhpStorm.

Prerequisites

Before we get started, ensure you have the following:

• PhpStorm installed on your machine.
• A working Kubernetes cluster.
• kubectl command-line tool installed and configured.

Setting Up PhpStorm for Kubernetes

First, let’s set up PhpStorm to work with Kubernetes. PhpStorm provides a plugin called Kubernetes and OpenShift Resource Support. This plugin offers coding assistance for Kubernetes resource files and templates.

To install the plugin:

1. Open PhpStorm and navigate to File > Settings > Plugins.
2. In the marketplace tab, search for Kubernetes.
3. Click Install and restart PhpStorm.

Editing Kubernetes Resources

With the plugin installed, PhpStorm now provides coding assistance for Kubernetes resource files. You can create a new Kubernetes resource file by navigating to File > New > Kubernetes Resource File. PhpStorm supports various resource types, including Deployment, Service, and ConfigMap.

When editing a Kubernetes resource file, PhpStorm provides:

• Code completion: PhpStorm suggests appropriate keys and values based on the Kubernetes API specification.
• Quick documentation: Hover over a key to see a brief description and link to the official Kubernetes documentation.
• Validation and quick fixes: PhpStorm validates your resource files against the Kubernetes API specification and offers quick fixes for detected issues.

Applying Kubernetes Resources

After editing your Kubernetes resource file, you can apply it to your Kubernetes cluster using the kubectl command-line tool. PhpStorm provides a terminal where you can run kubectl commands.

To apply a resource file:

1. Open the terminal in PhpStorm (View > Tool Windows > Terminal).
2. Navigate to the directory containing your resource file.
3. Run kubectl apply -f <filename>.

PhpStorm also integrates with Kubernetes via the Kubernetes plugin, allowing you to view and manage your Kubernetes resources directly from PhpStorm.

Conclusion

Kubernetes has become a crucial tool for data scientists, and PhpStorm offers excellent support for Kubernetes with its Kubernetes and OpenShift Resource Support plugin. With this plugin, you can edit Kubernetes resource files with coding assistance based on the Kubernetes API specification. You can also apply your resource files to your Kubernetes cluster directly from PhpStorm.

By integrating Kubernetes into your PhpStorm workflow, you can streamline your development process and focus on what matters most: building and deploying powerful, scalable applications.
