K9s
K9s is a terminal UI (TUI) for Kubernetes. It is faster than clicking in a web dashboard and morediscoverable than raw kubectl.
When to Use
- Cluster Management: Viewing Pods, Logs, and YAML in real-time.
- Debugging: Shell into a pod (
s), view logs (l), delete pod (Ctrl+d). - Safety: Read-only mode prevents accidental deletions in Prod.
Core Concepts
Views
Navigate by resource type (:pods, :svc, :deploy).
XRay
:xray RESOURCE creates a dependency tree view (e.g., Service -> Pod -> Node).
Pulses
:pulse gives a high-level health dashboard.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use Aliases: Define aliases for commonly used CRDs.
- Use Plugins: Extend K9s with custom scripts (e.g.,
kubectl neatto clean YAML). - Context Awareness: Use skins to color-code Prod (Red) vs Dev (Blue).
Don't:
- Don't rely solely on it: Know your
kubectlcommands for scripting/automation.
