mirrord lets developers run local processes in the context of their Kubernetes environment. It’s meant to provide the benefits of running your service on a cloud environment (e.g. staging) without actually going through the hassle of deploying it there, and without disrupting the environment by deploying untested code. It comes as a Visual Studio Code extension, an IntelliJ plugin and a CLI tool. You can read more about it here. Or maybe you're just Looking for the KubeCon Atlanta raffle password.

The new pod is then used to connect your local process and the impersonated pod: it mirrors incoming traffic from the pod to your process, routes outgoing traffic from your process through the pod, and does the same for file reads, file writes, and environment variables. You can read more about it here. Additional capabilities Container run inside the pod launched by mirrord requires additional Linux capabilities: • and - for modifying routing tables • - for reading target pod environment • - for joining target pod network namespace However, you can disable any subset of those in the configuration. This will possibly limit mirrord functionalities or even make it unusable in some setups. FAQ Our FAQ is available here.
