LocalStack now provides enhanced support for running AWS services in Kubernetes environments. In this presentation from the LocalStack 4.0 community meetup by Simon Walker, we explore how to deploy and manage local AWS resources within Kubernetes clusters with LocalStack, to help developers maintain consistency between development and production environments.The session further covers LocalStack’s Kubernetes integration, including deployment via Helm charts, configuration of services like Lambda and RDS as Kubernetes pods, and networking between components. A demo illustrates provisioning a serverless application (Lambda functions interacting with a MySQL database) using Terraform, with all resources managed within a local Kubernetes cluster.You'll additionally learn the practical approaches for local testing and infrastructure emulation by moving from Docker to Kubernetes-native solutions as well as upcoming features, including broader service support and new container runtime options.## Resources- Documentation: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/localstack-enterprise/kubernetes-executor/- Get access: https://www.localstack.cloud/contact

Get started with LocalStack in minutes! In this episode, we’ll clone a ready-to-go AWS sample app, spin up LocalStack, and run everything locally without a cloud account. By the end, you’ll have a fully functional event-driven app running on your machine.📖 Want more?Check out the companion blog post for a deeper breakdown of the architecture, project structure, and all the commands you’ll need to run it yourself.🔗 https://blog.localstack.cloud/why-i-run-my-serverless-apps-locally/

Bedrock is a fully managed service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that makes foundation models from various LLM providers accessible via an API. LocalStack allows you to use the Bedrock APIs to test and develop AI-powered applications in your local environment.In this video, Silvio showcases how LocalStack 4.0, with our new Bedrock support, is keeping up with advancements in Generative AI (GenAI) and large language Model (LLM) ecosystems. You'll learn what Amazon Bedrock is, the benefits of Bedrock emulation, and a live demo of how it works.## Resources- Documentation: https://docs.localstack.cloud/user-guide/aws/bedrock/- Get access: https://www.localstack.cloud/contact

LocalStack's core cloud emulator lets you emulate various cloud services on your own computer. This means you can develop and test your cloud-based solutions without connecting to a remote cloud.However, there are times when you need to seamlessly switch between your local setup and actual cloud resources, especially in hybrid situations. For instance, you might want to share a database with your local Lambda function or access S3 files stored remotely while running a Glue ETL job locally.With LocalStack's AWS Replicator extension, your local environment can replicate AWS cloud resources at the API level, allowing direct interaction with cloud services. The Replicator extension enables you to forward specific requests from LocalStack to AWS without complex proxy setups, and create test scenarios that involve a mix of local and cloud resources.Check out our tutorial — https://docs.localstack.cloud/tutorials/replicate-aws-resources-localstack-extension/
