Help

Hi @ramiro ,
I was using okteto CLI to run dev/debug on my local kube cluster.
Recently I upgraded CLI version 3.X.X. and since then okteto commands stop wroking.
Now its is asking for cloud url.
Is latest CLI not working with kube cluster?

Please confirm.

hi @midprasanta !

We did a major refactoring on the 3.0 release to make it easier for everyone to understand the ‘single developer’ scenarios compared to the ‘platform scenarios’. The release post gets into the details behind the decision.

The CLI still works with a Kubernetes cluster. The following commands work with any Kubernetes cluster:

  • okteto up (swap a deployment with a development container, code synchronization, remote debugging, remote terminal access, port forward, etc…)
  • okteto exec (open a remote terminal to the development container)

The rest of the commands (okteto build, okteto deploy, okteto namespace, etc…) require you to install Okteto on the cluster. This is because said commands require server-side components.

Let me know if you have follow up questions?
