I have a private k8s cluster. And I can use okteto to connect to my k8s cluster.

But I find if I use `okteto deploy` command to deploy app, only I can connect to it by use `okteto up`.

I want to develop in k8s with my workmate, is there some way to do this?

Yes, you can develop together with a teammate. The only restriction at the moment is that only can person can do `okteto up` to a specific service at the same time. But, for example, you could do `okteto up api` while your mate does `okteto up frontend` without any issues.

For your teammate to connect to your private k8s cluster, there are a couple of things that you can do:

1. You can give them direct access to your cluster. [This doc](https://discuss.kubernetes.io/t/how-to-create-user-in-kubernetes-cluster-and-give-it-access/9101) will point you to a few different options.
2. You can install [Okteto Self-Hosted](https://www.okteto.com/docs/self-hosted/) on your cluster (is free for teams of up to 3 people) so they can get self-service access to the cluster and many other benefits.
