SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Context management solves the challenge of connecting to and coordinating across multiple Kurtosis instances by organizing and switching between named contexts across local, remote, and team-shared environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Add, list, switch, and remove contexts to reflect different environments (local, remote, team-shared).
  • Seamlessly propagate the active context to the CLI and portal workflows for consistent operations.
  • Use cases include developing against multiple clusters, isolating dev/test environments, and quick context reconfiguration for team collaboration.

Quick Start

Switch between contexts with kurtosis context set <context-name> and verify the active context using kurtosis context ls.

FAQPage Schema
How do I switch between local and remote Kurtosis environments?▼

Switch Kurtosis environments by setting a named context using the CLI command `kurtosis context set <context-name>`. This organizes multiple instances across local, remote, and team-shared setups for reliable environment switching.

What is the best way to manage multiple Kurtosis instances for different clusters?▼

Managing multiple Kurtosis instances involves adding, listing, and switching named contexts. This isolates dev and test environments, propagating the active context to CLI and portal workflows for consistent operations across clusters.

Can I use Kurtosis contexts for team-shared development environments?▼

Yes, Kurtosis contexts support team-shared environments. You can add, list, switch, and remove contexts to reflect different environments, enabling quick context reconfiguration for team collaboration across shared instances.

How do I verify which Kurtosis context is currently active?▼

Verify the active Kurtosis context by running the `kurtosis context ls` CLI command. This lists available contexts and confirms the current active context metadata applied to your local, remote, or team-shared environment.

Why do I need context management for coordinating Kurtosis CLI workflows?▼

Context management is needed to solve the challenge of connecting to and coordinating across multiple Kurtosis instances. It propagates the active context to CLI and portal workflows, ensuring consistent and repeatable operations across environments.
