  1. 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.

    Installing SpinKube on Kyma

    Note - You find all the resources and code snippets in GitHub repository here.

  4. 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:

  5. 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.

  6. krew

    📦 Find and install kubectl plugins

    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.

  7. Chocolatey

    Chocolatey - the package manager for Windows
