Automatic merge from submit-queue (batch tested with PRs 62982, 63075, 63067, 62877, 63141). If you want to cherry-pick this change to another branch, please follow the instructions <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/cherry-picks.md">here</a>. make describers more generic from the CLI I've made this change very small so the intent and explanation make sense to people. Clients are not generic. Client**Configs** are generic. We faced this distinction in the apiserver and it took us a little to hurdle it. When you try to provide a generic example or function, you need to provide Client**Config**, not a kube clientset. The reason is that the code you're calling may have generated their own clientset, may want to use a dynamic one, or may want to a simple restclient. As we seek to make `kubectl` primitives more generally applicable, this is an example we'll want to follow. I suspect we'll be making more changes along these veins as we tease out the generic pieces of `kubectl ` to make a friendly CLI library. @kubernetes/sig-cli-maintainers /hold Holding for a few days to make sure that people have time to read and digest. ```release-note NONE ```
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.
