Tired of rebuilding your stack from scratch every time you run tests or restart your dev environment? In this episode, we dive into Cloud Pods, LocalStack’s powerful state management feature.You’ll learn how to:- Snapshot your entire LocalStack environment (services, resources, data)- Restore that exact state across machines, teams, or CI runs- Speed up test cycles and workflows- Use Cloud Pods to make testing in CI/CD faster and more reliableCloud Pods let you freeze your infrastructure in time. Perfect for repeatable tests, isolated dev environments, or onboarding new teammates.🔗 Read the companion blog post: https://blog.localstack.cloud/save-and-share-localstack-state-with-cloudpods/

In this talk, Teja explore the intricacies of the software supply chain and discuss strategies for protecting your software against supply chain attacks. He look sinto the risks associated with these threats, offer mitigation measures, and covers recommended practices for managing open-source software and Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs). This session aims to equip the audience with the knowledge and tools needed to enhance the security of their software supply chain.

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/

LocalStack's cloud emulator lets you run Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) clusters and tasks on your local computer. It's sometimes useful to mount code from the host filesystem directly into the ECS container. This helps quickly test changes without needing to rebuild and redeploy the ECS Task's Docker image each time.This video explains how to use code mounting with the ECS bind mounts feature.
