Graal Cloud Native Tools make it easy to develop Graal Cloud Native applications. You can easily create a new Graal Cloud Native (or Micronaut®) application, then deploy and run it in the cloud—all from within your IDE. The tools offer full-featured support for the Micronaut framework and seamlessly integrate with the cloud SDKs and tools you already use.
The tools are built for Visual Studio (VS) Code. VS Code is a modern, fast, lightweight, open source IDE with extensive features to help you develop your Java applications.
In addition, if you use Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), you'll find that it's never been easier to deploy to Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) thanks to the support for the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure DevOps service.
To start using the tooling, you will need:
- VS Code installed.
- A Java installation, such as Oracle GraalVM.
Then install the Graal Cloud Native Extension Pack from the VS Code Marketplace, by simply clicking Install.
