Easy Kubernetes Dev Environment -Rancher Desktop

Developing for containerized production is hard. Especially when you debug on the local network then push to Kubernetes for production. Nothing ever matches production. What if it was simple to actually debug or at least run it locally so you know you are seeing the same thing you expect in production?

Lets take a go at that reality today. We will walk through what Rancher Desktop does to make it easier to run a local Kubernetes cluster but only when you really need it. When you don't have the app started it doesn't take any resources at all.
