    Local development against a remote Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster

  • I was just wondering if there was a better way for local development on weaker machines. I was thinking along the lines of a separate cheap box that hosts my cluster connected to my development laptop through ethernet. Can I use a raspberry pi stack, or an old used system for the cheap to achieve this? Or is there anything I can do to have a remote cluster behave as if it is local (does telepresence achieve this, or does Cloud-Code). My company can provide remote clusters for development, but I'm not sure how well I can do local development with it (skaffold).

  • tilt can use remote clusters as can DevSpace. I like DevSpace's ux more, but tilt is a bit easier to get going.
