New Feature: Port-Forwarding with Qovery CLI
How to use it
It's as simple as running the following commands:
To give you a clearer picture of this feature, I've recorded a video demonstration that walks you through the process and showcases the simplicity and effectiveness of the port-forwarding feature.
How Port-Forwarding Enhances Security and Developer Experience
Port-forwarding through Qovery CLI is engineered with both security and convenience in mind. This mechanism allows developers to create a secure, encrypted tunnel from their local machine to the application hosted in the cloud.
Here's a brief overview of how it works:
- Initiation: Initiate a port-forwarding request via the Qovery CLI, which communicates with the Qovery API.
- Tunnel Creation: The Qovery API establishes a secure, encrypted tunnel between your local machine and the targeted resource on your cluster, be it an application, container, or managed database.
- Direct Access: This tunnel enables direct access to your application without exposing it over the public internet.
- Secure Interaction: Interact with your applications, containers, or databases securely and effortlessly, as if they were running locally on your machine.
We'll write a dedicated article to explain how it technically works in more detail. If you are interested, subscribe to our newsletter below.
