It would be very useful IMO to be able to easily move a service outside of Kubernetes.

The goal is to move the "fast loop" development outside of any container, onto the native system.

If I am not mistaken, all of the tools which help this either rebuild a container, or rebuild inside a container, right?

Given a Kubernetes application with service names, port forwards, etc., I would like to have an option to automatically convert these configurations into `ExternalName`, external port forwards, etc. This would be transparent to all services, inside and outside Kubernetes.

I think it can be done manually today. My colleagues at my last job wrote a helper script; credit to them for the idea. I think it could be built into `kubectl`. i.e. `kubectl apply --externalize serviceA`
