Telepresence Handbook: Bridge the Gap Between Local and Remote Kubernetes Development
Telepresence Handbook: Bridge the Gap Between Local and Remote Kubernetes Development
About the Book
Telepresence transforms how DevOps engineers develop Kubernetes applications.
Instead of deploying to remote clusters repeatedly, you can now intercept traffic
and run your service locally while debugging against your entire cluster.
This handbook teaches you everything you need to master Telepresence for rapid,
productive local development. Whether you're struggling with slow feedback loops,
debugging distributed services, or frustrated with containerized development workflows,
Telepresence solves these problems.
You'll learn:
- How Telepresence bridges your local machine and remote Kubernetes clusters
- Setting up the perfect local development environment
- Intercepting and routing traffic for realistic debugging
- Integrating Telepresence with your IDE and debugging tools
- Real-world workflows for microservices architecture
- Best practices from production DevOps teams
- Troubleshooting common issues and optimization techniques
Written by a DevOps expert with years of hands-on Kubernetes experience,
this handbook is practical, example-driven, and based on real-world scenarios.
Perfect for junior and senior engineers alike.
Stop wasting time on inefficient development workflows.
