# Make Kubernetes your Development Environment

Developers spend a lot of time making their local machine look like a cluster. But why do we do that? Our local machine is not where our code is supposed to run! 

We built [okteto](https://github.com/okteto/okteto) so we can make our Kubernetes clusters look like our local machine. In this video, I talk about how okteto helps you take advantage of all the goodness of Kubernetes and the cloud without having to sacrifice a really fast development and feedback loop.

PS After the talk, Bart, the head honcho of the [Data on Kubernetes Meetup](http://dok.community), recorded this rap! So amazing.
