Introducing Leveraged Technologies
Enter: Git
Git is a commonly-used source control management system in modern software engineering.

Check out this quick start guide to learn the basics of how Kubernetes works: http://kubernetes.io/docs/getting-started-guides/docker/
Next Steps
Now that you're familiar with our technology stack, you might be interested in taking a look at some projects that utilize these technologies:
- https://github.com/nds-org/ndslabs-clowder
- https://github.com/nds-org/ndslabs-dataverse
- https://github.com/nds-org/ndslabs-irods
These projects build up the images deployed by NDSLabs. Our backend spec for each service mimics that of the Kubernetes Spec:
- NDSLabs Service Specs: https://github.com/nds-org/ndslabs-specs
- The Kubernetes Spec: http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/pods/multi-container/#the-spec-schema
These specs are then fed by the NDSLabs API Server into the etcd instance that is run by Kubernetes.
The API Server hosts a REST API that allows the AngularJS GUI to grab the specs and walk the user through a Stack's configuration using the details contained within its spec.
The code for the API / GUI can be found here: https://github.com/nds-org/ndslabs
Congratulations!
If you have made it through all of the tutorials without hurting yourself or others, then you're doing great!
