Why are you rebuilding your image everytime? You can cut a significant chunk of time by just reusing the last image if you only have code updates. Instead of FROM ubuntu:latest use your image name:lastversion then do thing like apt-get update instead of doing all the aptget installs. You actually can ssh into a container if you’re debugging a deployment problem with something like: sleep 9999d your container, then do kubectl exec -it podname — bash You can debug what the hell went wrong like was it a config? ENV? Fix all that and see if your deployment is working then fix it all at one with your changes in code then deploy. But agreed with the sentiment that ssh sucks. It sounds like your iteration cycle for checking deployments are long because of either tooling or knowing these small tricks that isn’t written in manuals.
