K9s: A lazier way to manage Kubernetes Clusters

  • I love k9s and use it for most everything... but the unintended result is that I've lost my fluency in kubectl, which is occasionally a hinderance.

    But maybe that's what you want from a tool - something so good it essentially replaces the previous way you were doing something?

  • On the contrary, I don't see this tool as lazy at all. I find it indispensable, I always have it running in a Tmux pane. No Kubernetes admin should be without, it's a real gem.

    Shout out to Fernand and the other contributors for all the work they've put into it, thanks!

  • I'm a huge fan of k9s and we use it quite a bit at Argonaut.

    I'm unaffiliated with the tool except as a user and a tiny sponsor, and I'd encourage users who are willing and able to sponsor this amazing tool as well.

  • Huge fan of K9s.

    I take umbrage to "lazier" though. Especially since k9s' themselves considers themselves "a kubernetes CLI To manage your clusters in style". Sort of derogatory editorializing.

  • Been using k9s for years, big fan!

  • I only use kubectl because kubectl is enough. Change my mind!

    (k9s is well built though.)

  • I met Fernand at the first ElixirConf. Lovely dude, had a lot of fun hanging out. Chatted a few times since then, always a treat. I use his software 100 days a year

  • Being using that and lens. Then lens broke and only k9s.

    It’s fine!

  • K9 is amazing. Kudos for all developers.

    To be honest I do not miss a single bit of `kubectl` skills.

  • k9s and kubectx are lifesavers at my job

  • K9s is amazing.
