Remote - Kubernetes

The Remote - Kubernetes extension uses Okteto to move your development environment to Kubernetes.

Kubernetes, Okteto and VS Code make a great development environment because you can:

  • Launch reproducible development environment with all your tools in seconds.
  • Automatically synchronize your code between local and remote environments.
  • Eliminate integration issues by developing the same way code runs in production.
  • Keep using your favorite tools.
  • Forget about building images or redeploying containers to test your changes in Kubernetes.

The extension starts a development environment in your Kubernetes cluster by using https://github.com/okteto/okteto. Once the environment is ready, the extension prompts you to open it directly in VS Code using the Visual Studio Code Remote - SSH extension.

Requirements

  1. VS Code 1.66 or newer.
  2. Deploy access to a Kubernetes cluster (you can use https://cloud.okteto.com/, Okteto's free managed Kubernetes service for developers).
  3. An OpenSSH compatible SSH client.

Installation

  1. Install VS Code and this extension.
  2. Install the Remote - SSH extension.
  3. Download and configure your kubeconfig file.

Getting started

There is a complete tutorial here. The steps can be summarized as follows:

  1. Clone https://github.com/okteto/vscode-remote-go
  2. Start VS Code
  3. Run the Okteto: Up command to launch your development environment in Kubernetes. When prompted, pick the okteto.yml manifest.
  4. After a few seconds, you'll be asked to select a host. Pick the vscode-remote-go.okteto entry from the dialog to launch your remote VS Code instance.
  5. Develop directly in Kubernetes from VS Code!
