How to create a local development environment for Kubernetes?

Question

Kubernetes seems to be all about deploying containers to a cloud of clusters. What it doesn\'t seem to touch is development and staging environments (or such).

The sort of "hot reload" is something we have plans to add, but is not as easy as it could be today. However, if you're feeling adventurous you can use rsync with docker exec, kubectl exec, or osc exec (all do the same thing roughly) to sync a local directory into a container whenever it changes. You can use rsync with kubectl or osc exec like so:

# rsync using osc as netcat
$ rsync -av -e 'osc exec -ip test -- /bin/bash' mylocalfolder/ /tmp/remote/folder
