ksync is a CLI tool that synchronizes files between a local checkout and containers running in a Kubernetes cluster, similar to a bind mount for Kubernetes. It lets developers edit code locally with their favorite IDE and see changes reflected in remote containers within seconds.
Use cases
- sync local code changes to a kubernetes pod instantly
- develop kubernetes apps with local IDE instead of rebuilding images
- hot reload code running in a remote cluster container
- mount a local directory into a kubernetes container like docker -v
- speed up inner loop testing on minikube or GKE
- watch local files and auto-update remote containers
When to choose
- you build applications for kubernetes and want fast edit-test cycles
- you want docker bind-mount-like file sync with cluster containers
- you use minikube or a remote cluster and want live code updates without image rebuilds
When to avoid
- you need production deployment tooling rather than development sync
- your cluster disallows privileged DaemonSets or modifying running containers
- you need a fully maintained project - releases are infrequent and the project is in maintenance mode
