K8s Dev Deploy

Build and deploy Kurtosis from source to a Kubernetes cluster for testing without making a release.

Overview

Three container images must be built and pushed:

• engine — from engine/server/Dockerfile
• core (APIC) — from core/server/Dockerfile
• files-artifacts-expander — from core/files_artifacts_expander/Dockerfile

The CLI binary is also rebuilt locally.

All images share the same tag, which is set in kurtosis_version/kurtosis_version.go as KurtosisVersion. This version is compiled into the engine binary and used at runtime to pull the core and files-artifacts-expander images.

Steps

1. Determine Docker Hub username and generate a unique tag
