Development Containers

Okteto makes it easier to develop on Kubernetes by using Development Containers. Development Containers allow you to hot reload and debug your Development Environments as fast as you write code 🚀

Development Containers support two different modes:

• File Sync development mode: syncs your local changes to your remote Development Container (default mode)
• Hybrid development mode: runs your service locally and simulates your laptop belonging to the cluster network by using ssh tunnels

The mode is configured in your Okteto Manifest and affects the behavior of okteto up.
