The LocalStack Extension for Docker Desktop enables developers working with LocalStack to run their AWS applications or Lambdas entirely on their local machine without connecting to a remote cloud provider! LocalStack empowers developers to use over 75+ AWS services locally while helping them simplify their testing and development workflow. LocalStack supports a comprehensive list of APIs, which you can view on our Feature coverage page⁠.

Make sure to have the option "Show Docker Extensions system containers" enabled. You can enable it by going to Settings > Extensions > Show Docker Extensions system containers

This extension supports the following main features:

• Control LocalStack: Start, stop, and restart LocalStack from the Docker Desktop. You can also see the current status of your LocalStack instance and navigate to LocalStack Web Application.
• LocalStack insights: You can see the log information of the LocalStack instance and all the available services and their status on the service page.
• LocalStack configurations: You can manage and use your profiles via configurations and create new configurations for your LocalStack instance.
