My friend Asad<\/a> messaged me from the ongoing KubeCon 2017<\/a> that a keynote<\/a> slide from Brendan Burns (one of the creators of Kubernetes) advocated that configuring your app for the cloud native world ought to become significantly simpler. That appealed to me instantly, since I too was wishing a few days ago that Docker and Kubernetes would work seamlessly from my language of choice (which is usually Java)\u200a\u2014\u200aand preferably, in tandem with my IDE of choice (which is of late IntelliJ); and all this without having to learn arcane commands and dealing with a bunch of YAML files\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So I took Burns\u2019 new Metaparticle<\/a> library for a spin in the evening, and am glad to report that I went from \u201cNever tried Docker\u201d to using it successfully from a Java program, all in the space of a few hours! I haven\u2019t had success getting its Kubernetes executor to work yet, but hopefully that won\u2019t be too big a hurdle to jump over.<\/p>\n

In short, this is what I did, on my Ubuntu 17.04 VM:<\/p>\n
