Local Development Techniques with Kubernetes

What if you could debug code running directly inside a Kubernetes container? This talk demonstrates how to set breakpoints and inspect code live.

Local Development Techniques with Kubernetes
#1about 3 minutes

Simplifying container startup with Docker Compose

Use a Docker Compose file to define and run multi-container Docker applications, avoiding complex command-line arguments.

#2about 3 minutes

Running different Kubernetes versions with Minikube

Minikube allows you to run a local single-node Kubernetes cluster inside a virtual machine on your personal computer.

#3about 3 minutes

Automating rebuilds on code changes with Skaffold

Skaffold handles the workflow for building, pushing, and deploying your application, automatically rebuilding when local files change.

#4about 2 minutes

Exploring container image layers with Dive

Use the Dive tool to visualize the contents of a Docker image, layer by layer, to discover inefficiencies and optimize image size.

#5about 5 minutes

Visualizing Docker resources with a UI using Portainer

Portainer provides a graphical user interface to manage Docker containers, images, volumes, and networks without using the command line.

#6about 3 minutes

Visualizing Kubernetes resources with K-Dash

K-Dash (now Schooner) offers a secure, web-based UI for visualizing and managing Kubernetes cluster resources like pods, services, and secrets.

#7about 8 minutes

Debugging applications inside containers with VS Code

The VS Code Remote - Containers extension lets you use a Docker container as a full-featured development environment, including debugging.

#8about 12 minutes

Q&A on Helm, K3s, Minikube, and WSL2

The discussion covers additional tools and concepts like using Helm for templating, K3s as a lightweight Kubernetes distribution, and running Docker in WSL2.
