 Cloud profiles rely on cloud providers to do its job. QuickBuild 8.0 ships with the Kubernetes cloud provider. To use it, one has to enable the Kubernetes plugin by providing a configuration file in _Administration/Plugin Management_ page as demonstrated below:

 Then one can follow the [cloud profiles|Working with Cloud Profiles] guide to create cloud profiles using Kubernetes launchers like below:

 You should use your own docker image when define the Kubernetes profile. {anchor:create build agent image}The image should be pre-configured with your build environment as well as QuickBuild build agent. An example Dockerfile to build the image is as below:
  You should use your own docker image when define the Kubernetes profile. {anchor:create build agent image}The image should be pre-configured with your build environment as well as QuickBuild build agent. Below is an example to create a Debian Linux image only with OpenJDK and build agent installed.
  
# Assume we have build agent installed at _/path/to/buildagent_. First run the build agent to make sure it can connect with the build server.
 # Create file _/path/to/buildagent/Dockerfile_ with below content:
 {code}
 FROM openjdk:8-jdk
 ADD . /app
 EXPOSE 8811
 CMD ["/app/bin/wrapper-linux-x86-64", "/app/conf/wrapper.conf"]
 {code}
# Change to directory _/path/to/buildagent_, and run below command
 {code}
 docker build -t youraccount/qbagent:latest .
 {code}
 # Then publish the built image:
 {code}
 docker push youraccount/qbagent:latest
 {code}
  
This file is placed under the build agent installation directory, and runs build agent from a Debian Linux machine with OpenJDK8 installed.
  With this example, you should use docker image _youraccount/qbagent:latest_ when define the Kubernetes profile above
  
 After creating and pushing your image, run a docker container from another machine using the image to make sure it can connect to QuickBuild build server.
