One of the key principals of Kubernetes is the ephemerality of Pods. No Pod is every redeployed, a completely new Pod is created. If a Pod dies, for whatever reason, a new Pod is created in its place there is no continuity in the state of that Pod.

In this blog post, I’m going to show you how to use VS Code and Azure Data Studio for presentations where you need to execute local code on remote systems over SSH. The Challenge When using tools like VS Code and PowerShell ISE these tools give you the ability to highlight code and execute that highlighted code. This generally means the highlighted code you want to execute will execute against the local machine.
