Quickstart
----------

[//]: # ({x-version-update-start:google-cloud-container:released})
Add this to your pom.xml file
```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>google-cloud-container</artifactId>
  <version>0.64.0-beta</version>
</dependency>
```
If you are using Gradle, add this to your dependencies
```Groovy
compile 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-container:0.64.0-beta'
```
If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies
```Scala
libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-container" % "0.64.0-beta"
```
[//]: # ({x-version-update-end})

Authentication
--------------

See the [Authentication](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/google-cloud-java#authentication) section in the base directory's README.

About Kubernetes Engine
--------------------------

[Kubernetes Engine API][cloud-container] deploys, manages, and scales containerized applications on Kubernetes, powered by Google Cloud.

See the [Kubernetes Engine docs][cloud-container-quickstart] for more details on how to activate
Kubernetes Engine for your project.

See the [Kubernetes Engine client library docs][container-client-lib-docs] to learn how to interact with the
Kubernetes Engine API using this Client Library.

Getting Started
---------------
#### Prerequisites
For this tutorial, you will need a
[Google Developers Console](https://console.developers.google.com/) project with the Kubernetes Engine API
enabled. You will need to [enable billing](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6158867?hl=en) to
use Kubernetes Engine.
[Follow these instructions](https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication#preparation) to get your
project set up. You will also need to set up the local development environment by [installing the
Google Cloud SDK](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/) and running the following commands in command line:
`gcloud auth login` and `gcloud config set project [YOUR PROJECT ID]`.

#### Installation and setup
You'll need to obtain the `google-cloud-container` library.  See the [Quickstart](#quickstart) section
to add `google-cloud-container` as a dependency in your code.

Transport
---------
Kubernetes Engine uses gRPC for the transport layer.

Java Versions
-------------

Java 7 or above is required for using this client.

Testing
-------

This library has tools to help make tests for code using Kubernetes Engine.

See [TESTING] to read more about testing.

Versioning
----------

This library follows [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).

It is currently in major version zero (``0.y.z``), which means that anything
may change at any time and the public API should not be considered
stable.

Contributing
------------

Contributions to this library are always welcome and highly encouraged.

See `google-cloud`'s [CONTRIBUTING] documentation and the [shared documentation](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcloud-common/blob/master/contributing/readme.md#how-to-contribute-to-gcloud) for more information on how to get started.
