Kubernetes Engine API C++ Client Library

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

While this library isGA, please note Google Cloud C++ client libraries donot followSemantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The following shows the code that you'll run in thegoogle/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 "google/cloud/location.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;  }  auto const location = google::cloud::Location(argv[1], argv[2]);  namespace container = ::google::cloud::container_v1;  auto client = container::ClusterManagerClient(      container::MakeClusterManagerConnection());  auto response = client.ListClusters(location.FullName());  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 iscontainer_v1::ClusterManagerClient. All RPCs are exposed as member functions of this class. Other classes provide helpers, configuration parameters, and infrastructure to mockcontainer_v1::ClusterManagerClient when testing your application.
