Hi Devs, As you may already know we implemented our own Kubernetes API client in Stratos and it is currently using v1beta1 API version. According to Kubernetes blog, v1beta1 and v1beta2 APIs have been deprecated and will be removed at the end of June 2015 [1].
In addition Stratos Kubernetes API client does not include any authentication features. As a result currently it is not possible to talk to Kubernetes clusters deployed in Google Cloud which require some means of authentication (OAuth, API keys, etc). I did some analysis on the available Kubernetes Java API clients and found that RedHat has implemented a Kubernetes Java API client [2] for Fabric8 [3]. Kubernetes also has listed it on the API client libraries page [4] and it is licensed under Apache 2. I implemented a sample client application using above API client and currently evaluating the features required by Stratos. It has support for the latest API version v1beta3 and provides authentication features. IMO it would be wise for us to use a such a library without maintaining our own. Please share your thoughts on this.
