Kubetap Development
This section provides information about Kubetap development processes and how to contribute.
Kubetap overview
Kubtap is developed by Matt Hamilton at Soluble.ai as an Apache v2 Licensed open source project.
Kubetap arose from a need to quickly and efficiently proxy Kubernetes Services without imposing a CNI mandate.
Building kubetap requires the following dependencies:
| dependency | purpose | notes |
|---|---|---|
kubectl |
... | mandatory for integration tests |
docker |
Build containers | not needed to build kubectl-tap binary |
go |
Build kubectl-tap |
minimum Go version 1.13 |
zsh |
Build scripts | scripting is nicer than bash or sh |
Script-managed dependencies, installed using go get and ci.mod or ig-tests.mod:
| dependency | purpose | notes |
|---|---|---|
golangci-lint |
Linting | (ci.mod) used as Go code linter |
gotestsum |
Testing | (ci.mod) used to make test output prettier |
kind |
Testing | (ig-tests.mod) required for integration tests |
helm |
