# Kubernetes Developer Guide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The developer guide is for anyone wanting to either write code which directly accesses the
|
|
|
|
kubernetes API, or to contribute directly to the kubernetes project.
|
|
|
|
It assumes some familiarity with concepts in the [User Guide](user-guide.md) and the [Cluster Admin
|
|
|
|
Guide](cluster-admin-guide.md).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
## Developing against the Kubernetes API
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* API objects are explained at [http://kubernetes.io/third_party/swagger-ui/](http://kubernetes.io/third_party/swagger-ui/).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Annotations** ([annotations.md](annotations.md)): are for attaching arbitrary non-identifying metadata to objects.
|
|
|
|
Programs that automate Kubernetes objects may use annotations to store small amounts of their state.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **API Conventions** ([api-conventions.md](api-conventions.md)):
|
|
|
|
Defining the verbs and resources used in the Kubernetes API.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **API Client Libraries** ([client-libraries.md](client-libraries.md)):
|
|
|
|
A list of existing client libraries, both supported and user-contributed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Writing Plugins
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Authentication Plugins** ([authentication.md](authentication.md)):
|
|
|
|
The current and planned states of authentication tokens.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* **Authorization Plugins** ([authorization.md](authorization.md)):
|
|
|
|
Authorization applies to all HTTP requests on the main apiserver port.
|
|
|
|
This doc explains the available authorization implementations.
