  • Kubernetes Environment: A running Kubernetes cluster hosting the service you intend to develop or debug.

  • Cluster Permissions: Necessary permissions for the Kubernetes cluster, such as the ability to deploy pods.

  • Visual Studio Code IDE: Your Visual Studio Code Integrated Development Environment (IDE) should be updated to version 1.79.0 and above.

With these prerequisites in place, you're all set to leverage Velocity for your development and debugging needs.
