odo - Developer-focused CLI for fast & iterative container-based application development on Podman and Kubernetes. Implementation of the open Devfile standard.
odo
- Developer-focused CLI for Kubernetes and OpenShift
Overview
odo
is a fast, iterative, and straightforward CLI tool for developers who write, build, and deploy applications on Kubernetes and OpenShift.
Existing tools such as kubectl
and oc
are more operations-focused and require a deep-understanding of Kubernetes and OpenShift concepts. odo
abstracts away complex Kubernetes and OpenShift concepts for the developer.
Key features
odo
is designed to be simple and concise with the following key features:
- Simple syntax and design centered around concepts familiar to developers, such as projects, applications, and components.
- Completely client based. No additional server other than Kubernetes or OpenShift is required for deployment.
- Official support for Node.js and Java components.
- Detects changes to local code and deploys it to the cluster automatically, giving instant feedback to validate changes in real time.
- Lists all the available components and services from the cluster.
