An idiomatic C++ client library for the Kubernetes Engine API, a service to build and manage container-based applications, powered by the open source Kubernetes technology.

While this library is GA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The following shows the code that you'll run in the google/cloud/container/quickstart/ directory, which should give you a taste of the Kubernetes Engine API C++ client library API.

#include "google/cloud/container/v1/cluster_manager_client.h"
#include <iostream>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) try {
  if (argc != 3) {
    std::cerr << "Usage: " << argv[0] << " project-id location-id\n";
    return 1;
  }
 
  namespace container = ::google::cloud::container_v1;
  auto client = container::ClusterManagerClient(
      container::MakeClusterManagerConnection());
 
  auto const location =
      std::string{"projects/"} + argv[1] + "/locations/" + argv[2];
  auto response = client.ListClusters(location);
  if (!response) throw std::move(response).status();
  for (auto const& c : response->clusters()) {
    std::cout << c.DebugString() << "\n";
  }
 
  return 0;
} catch (google::cloud::Status const& status) {
  std::cerr << "google::cloud::Status thrown: " << status << "\n";
  return 1;
}

Main classes

The main class in this library is `container_v1::ClusterManagerClient`. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mock `container_v1::ClusterManagerClient` when testing your application.
