Kubernetes Initializer Tutorial

This tutorial walks you through building and deploying a Kubernetes Initializer that injects an Envoy proxy container into uninitialized Deployments.

Initializers are an alpha feature and subject to change. Please report any Initializer specific issues on the Kubernetes issue tracker.

Prerequisites

Kubernetes 1.7.0+ is required with support for Initializers enabled. If you're using Google Container Engine create an alpha cluster:

gcloud alpha container clusters create k0 \
  --enable-kubernetes-alpha \
  --cluster-version 1.7.0
