Getting started with the Cloud Pods CLI
LocalStack provides a command line tool to manage the state of your instance via Cloud Pods.

Cloud Pods provides a new way of collaborating in cloud application development workflows.

Note
Please note that cloud pods may not be compatible across different versions of LocalStack. We are actively working on addressing this limitation in the upcoming releases.Cloud Pods are a mechanism that allows you to take a snapshot of the state in your current LocalStack instance, persist it to a storage backend, and easily share it with your team members.
Hint
To quickly see cloud pods in action, we prepared a small sample application that uses cloud pods to inject its state into a running LocalStack container. Cloud Pod Thumbnail Sample AppWhile the Persistence feature ensures that the service state survives container restarts, Cloud Pods go beyond and allow more fine-grained control over your state.
Instead of simply restoring a state when restarting LocalStack, Cloud Pods allow you to take snapshots of your local instance (with the save command) and inject such snapshots into a running instance (with the load command) without requiring a restart.
In addition, we provide a remote storage backend that can be used to store the state of your running application and share it with your team members.
You can interact with Cloud Pods via the Web UI, and to load and store the persistent state of pods, you can use the localstack command-line interface (CLI).
