# Swap a local service into a live Kubernetes environment to debug real cluster traffic before rollout with Telepresence
Intercept a Kubernetes service and route live cluster traffic into a local process so debugging happens against real dependencies before release.
## Prerequisites
Telepresence CLI, kubectl access, kubeconfig for the target cluster, a locally runnable service, and permission to create intercepts in the namespace
## Installation
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- Telepresence is a [CNCF](https://www.cncf.io/) project that connects your local workstation to a remote Kubernetes cluster, letting you run services locally while accessing cluster resources. It enables fast local dev...
- **Local Development** - Run services on your workstation using your favorite IDE, debugger, and tools
