Cloud pods - Team Collaboration

In this video, we’ll delve into Cloud pods, which allow you to snapshot the present state of your LocalStack instance and share it with your team. We’ll load a Cloud Pod in our environment through the Web Application. This Cloud Pod will load the infrastructure and application onto our currently active LocalStack instance without manually deploying any resources.

LocalStack is an ephemeral environment by nature. It means that when you stop your LocalStack instance, all data is removed. However, by using Cloud Pods, you can preserve the LocalStack state. Cloud Pods are snapshots of your LocalStack instance’s state that can be saved, versioned, shared, and restored.

In this video, we’ll follow the quickstart to import Cloud Pods shared by our team member into our LocalStack instance and observe how this process supports local development and deployment of cloud applications.
