Pack: Dockerfile-less deployment to Kubernetes with Cloud Native Buildpacks

In the ecosystem of containerization, Docker has long been the de facto standard for building and deploying applications. However, the rise of open standards such as the Open Container Initiative (OCI) has paved the way for alternative approaches that offer greater flexibility and simplicity. One such approach is Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB), a project that aims to unify the buildpack ecosystem and provide a platform-agnostic way to build OCI images. CNB is implemented by a number of tools, including <code><a href="https://github.com/buildpacks/pack" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Pack</a></code>, a CLI that enables users to build, manage, and deploy applications using buildpacks. In this blog post, we will explore how Pack can be used to achieve Dockerfile-less deployment to Kubernetes. We will discuss the benefits of using buildpacks over Dockerfiles, and we will demonstrate how to use Pack to build and deploy a simple Node.js application to Kubernetes. <a href="https://medium.com/@seifeddinerajhi/pack-dockerfile-less-deployment-to-kubernetes-with-cloud-native-buildpacks-eb807b65ac72">Read More</a>
