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

Real cloud developers aren’t pushing straight to AWS.They’re building and testing everything locally before a single deploy goes live.This episode breaks down the modern cloud dev workflow and how tools like LocalStack make it possible to move fast without burning money (or trust).Learn how local-first dev culture is changing the cloud game.

LocalStack Applications in Developer Hub provides sample templates to help LocalStack users adopt real-world scenarios to rapidly and conveniently create, configure, and deploy applications locally. ## Getting startedIn this demo, we will setup a Sagemaker on Localstack

What if your AI coding assistant could not only write infrastructure code, but also deploy it, test it, and fix issues automatically — all on your local machine? That's exactly what the LocalStack MCP Server makes possible.In this session, we'll introduce the LocalStack Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, a new tool that lets AI agents manage your entire local cloud development lifecycle through a conversational interface. You'll learn:What MCP is and why it's a game-changer for AI-assisted developmentHow the LocalStack MCP Server turns manual cloud tasks into automated workflowsHow to set up and configure the server with your favorite AI editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)Real-world demos: deploying CDK apps, analyzing logs, running chaos tests, managing state with Cloud Pods, and more.Through hands-on examples, we'll walk through a complete workflow where an AI agent deploys a serverless application, verifies resources, troubleshoots issues, and tests resilience, all without leaving the conversation.If you've ever wished your AI assistant could do more than just generate code, this talk will show you what's possible when agents can actually manage your local cloud environment.
