Kubernetes deployment

Tell us about your request

I would like to use dev environments inside of kubernetes.

Which service(s) is this request for? (Dev environments)

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? I use vscode to develop kubernetes applications. I would like to share dev environments to work on an application. Rather than using docker-compose, I wonder if it would be possible to use some other tool to specify dependencies. Currently we use devspace. I've tried skaffold as well, and of course helm charts are a possibility.

Are you currently working around the issue? Currently we don't use dev environments. For a single container, we can use the "simple" dev environments, but for more complex deployments it seems difficult.

Additional context We develop on mac-os. We run kubernetes both locally and via EKS. We use terraform to manage infrastructure lifecycle. The "ulitmate" integration would be devspace-terraform-vscode so we could spin up a shared dev environment, and clone it for branches (as well as a diff/merge tool -- though if the state is declarative and stored in the repo, then perhaps that is free with git).

Hey @shaunc! Very interesting, we're thinking about our development experiences for kubernetes in general and would love to learn more about your use case 🧐 Would you be willing to chat with us some more about it? If so, drop me a line at [email protected] and we can find a time :) Thanks for the feedback!
