kube-cli

Command line interface for Kubernetes that simplifies usage of kubectl.

☠️ This project is no longer supported. It's not quite usefull in this shape. It's basically how I used it on my prev job.

I recommend you to use K9S instead and live a happy life 👌

Installation

pip install kube-cli

Requirements

• python 3.6 or higher
• kubectl
• kubectl config file in ~/.kube/config

How to use

# show help
kube help

# List all namespaces / pods
kube all ns
kube all pods

kube find ns <query>
kube find pod <query>

# Operations with namespace

kube <namespace> pods

Fuzzy search

Fuzzy search is a killing feature that allows to search namespaces and pods by short equivalents.

For example, following commands are equal:

kube 1234 redismetric logs

kube jira-1234 rd-jira-5103-redis-metrics-57dff4f8b7-5c49k logs
