The new image is meant to be used for testing purposes, whenever there are significant differences between Linux and Windows in the way something is obtained or tested. For example, the DNS suffix list can be found in ``/etc/resolv.conf`` on Linux, but on Windows, such file does not exist, and one way to obtain the mentioned list would be through some powershell commands. The image contains an extendable CLI as the entrypoint, the tests only having to add the necessary arguments. For the previous example, passing the ``dns-suffix`` argument will print out the comma separated DNS suffix list, on both Linux and Windows. The image name means that it should behave the same way on any host, no matter the host OS.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source system for managing containerized applications across multiple hosts; providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications.
Kubernetes builds upon a decade and a half of experience at Google running production workloads at scale using a system called Borg, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.
Kubernetes is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). If you are a company that wants to help shape the evolution of technologies that are container-packaged, dynamically-scheduled and microservices-oriented, consider joining the CNCF. For details about who's involved and how Kubernetes plays a role, read the CNCF announcement.
To start using Kubernetes
See our documentation on kubernetes.io.
Try our interactive tutorial.
Take a free course on Scalable Microservices with Kubernetes.
To start developing Kubernetes
The community repository hosts all information about building Kubernetes from source, how to contribute code and documentation, who to contact about what, etc.
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
You have a working Go environment.
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
You have a working Docker environment.
$ git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
$ cd kubernetes
$ make quick-release
For the full story, head over to the developer's documentation.
