WORKSHOP SETUP & PREREQUISITES

During this workshop, you will be setting up an entire DevOps flow for a Java application. You will end with deploying to a Kubernetes cluster and then capitalizing on the benefits of adding a service mesh to the equation.

The following is a list of tools and software you will need to benefit the most from this workshop:

1. Your own GitHub account
2. Git
3. Docker Desktop or your tool of choice for building and publishing container images
4. Helm 3 or greater
5. An IDE of your choice. I always recommend IntelliJ
6. Maven. I’ll be using Maven 3.6
7. Java, of course! Version 8 or higher and any distro will do. I’ll be using OpenJDK

A link to sign up for a free JFrog Platform account will be provided at the beginning of the workshop. You will also need admin access to a Kubernetes cluster, but don’t let that deter you! Options will be provided during the workshop if you do not have a cluster of your own to work with.
