Draft: Streamlined Kubernetes Development

NOTE: Draft is experimental and does not have a stable release yet.

Draft handles the heavy lifting involved in taking source code and deploying it to Kubernetes:

• Builds a container image from application source code
• Pushes the image to a registry
• Packages a Helm chart from application source code
• Installs the chart to Kubernetes, deploying the application

Usage

Install Draft

Because Draft is currently experimental, there is no stable release out yet and users are expected to be using the latest build of Draft for testing. Canary releases of the Draft client can be found at the following links:

• Linux amd64
• macOS amd64
• Windows amd64

Unpack the Draft binary and add it to your PATH and you are good to go!

To install the server-side of Draft, use draft init with your credentials to let Draft communicate with a Docker registry:

$ draft init --set registry.url=docker.io,registry.org=changeme,registry.authtoken=changeme

The auth token field follows the format of Docker's X-Registry-Auth header. For credential-based logins such as Docker Hub and Quay, use

$ echo '{"username":"jdoe","password":"secret","email":"jdoe@acme.com"}' | base64

For token-based logins such as Google Container Registry and Amazon ECR, use

$ echo '{"registrytoken":"9cbaf023786cd7"}' | base64

If you're looking to build from source or get started hacking on Draft, please see the hacking guide for more information.
