Unified Kubernetes Support in LocalStack

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

Develop and test your AI-powered cloud apps locally with LocalStack

Running AI/ML workloads in the cloud can be expensive, opaque, and difficult to iterate on. LocalStack changes this by enabling engineers to develop and test AI-powered cloud applications entirely locally, emulating services like SageMaker, Bedrock, Redshift, and Snowflake.In this presentation, Waldemar Hummer, CTO of LocalStack, demonstrates how to prototype and validate AI & ML data pipelines safely and cost-effectively using LocalStack’s cloud emulators. You’ll see how to emulate complex AI workflows, test integrations, and use “vibe coding” techniques confidently in a fully sandboxed local environment.
