The Okteto CLI lets you develop inside a container, no matter if it is running locally or in a remote cluster.
The main advantages of developing inside containers are:
- replicability: development containers eliminate the need to install your dependencies locally, everything is pre-configured in your development image.
- fast inner loop development: native builds inside your development container are faster than the docker build/redeploy cycle.
- less integration issues: your development container reuses the same variables, secrets, sidecars, volumes, etc... than your original deployment.
