raghule··on Ask HN: How do you go about starting to develop an application for Kubernetes?
This is quite interesting. How did you navigate containerizing your app, creating deployment files, etc? What was your dev cycle like?

I'd love to learn more about how you first built an app for K8s. Like did you have an existing app you were porting to K8s or what was the app dev cycle looked like?

This is great, thanks for a detailed answer on this! Few questions:

1) When you say built automation to spin up clusters in AKS, what did you use and what entry point you used to spin up those cluster? E.g: Did you have a terraform template that was used through cli?

2) How were the Helm files deployed? Did you have a CD pipeline that deployed helm on every code commit?

3) When you said iterating on the app directly on AKS, what was the iteration? Is the scope, you had an existing app and you were iteratively porting the code base?

On a meta level, how many of your experience you and your team preferred a UI/UX experience for? For creating helm charts, did you feel like a portal experience would have made it easier or did existing documentation work for you? What other dev cycle you and your team wanted guidance from AKS portal?
