Step through debugging of code running in Kubernetes using VS2019 SSH attach (Part 2)

#kubernetes #dotnet

Get your desktop ready for debugging

Ok now, open Visual Studio 2019, and get the sources that match the code running on your pod. Compile them. Set the project for your app as the Startup Project. Choose Debug -> Attach to Process.

Click the Refresh Button

Fill out the fields in the dialog with the master node name, the port of the SSH service, the root account and the password that you assigned to the root account. Press Connect

From this point you can step, hover over variables, or anything you might do when debugging locally.
