Kubernetes Development Environments – A Comparison

• minikube

  78 28,401 10.0 Go

  Run Kubernetes locally

  

Local Kubernetes clusters are clusters that are running on the individual computer of the developer. There are many tools that provide such an environment, such as Minikube, microk8s, k3s, or kind. While they are not all the same, their use as a development environment is quite comparable.

• devspace-plugin-loft

  57 19 7.1

  Loft Plugin for DevSpace - adds commands like `devspace create space` or `devspace create vcluster` to DevSpace

  

To avoid the high cost and the management effort for larger teams, many organizations want to provide developers with either namespaces or virtual clusters (virtual clusters are relatively new, so namespaces are still more common). However, as these companies have realized that scalability of the approach matters a lot, they want to do this in an automized fashion and therefore either start developing own internal Kubernetes platforms as Spotify did or just buy existing solutions, such as Loft. Thereby, it depends on the complexity of the application and the expertise and requirements of the developers if namespaces are sufficient or if virtual clusters are a better solution.
