Kubernetes namespaces as dev environments

What's this blog post about?

A tutorial is provided for setting up developer environments for Kubernetes projects using Coder. The tutorial covers creating a Coder template that provisions resources such as kubectl, helm, tilt, and other DevOps tools/home/coder volume to store projects and git repositories, and ServiceAccount with RoleBinding allowing the user to deploy additional resources within the namespace. It also explains how to create a persistent volume for developers to store their repos/files and connect via VS Code, SSH, or web terminal to deploy pods on the cluster. The tutorial assumes that Coder templates are written in Terraform and provides an example of a main.tf file with resource blocks for namespace, ServiceAccount, role binding, agent, app, pod, and persistent volume claim. It also includes metadata resources for icons and custom information about the namespace, pod, PVC, service account, and role binding. The tutorial concludes by encouraging developers to make changes to the template according to their project requirements and provides a link to the author's GitHub repository for a complete example of this template.
