DevOps and Docker Talk: Cloud Native Interviews and Tooling

DevPod for Dev Containers


Listen Later

Bret is joined by Lukas Gentele and Rich Burroughs from Loft Labs to look at a new project called DevPod, that supports dev containers and VMs. It works with local Docker instances and AWS, GCP, Azure, and several other cloud providers. The project is compatible with Microsoft's DevContainer standard, which means it works with the VC Code standalone app and VS Code in the browser.

Lukas and Rich were on this show last year, showing off vcluster, which allows you to run a full Kubernetes cluster inside an existing Kubernetes namespace. In this episode, we announce the release of DevPod and also go through some demos. I'm already thinking of how I might use it in my own developer workflow.


Live recording of the complete show from May 16, 2023 is on YouTube (Ep. #216). Includes demos.
