Building a Kubernetes Operator with the Operator Framework
To support visual feedback for the users who are using tools like Openlens, we can add a +kubebuilder:printcolumn annotation to the MyApp struct. To do so, add the following code to the MyApp struct:

Lazydocker
There is also OpenLens (https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens). And for anyone switching from Lens, pod shell and logs functionality can be found as an extension.

'ekscli' vs. 'aws eks'
`openlens` is now preferred over `Lens`, it has everything you need and none of the fluff that Lens wants to charge you for.

Stupid question? Lens vs OpenLens vs Monokle
It's actually called OpenLens: https://github.com/lensapp/lens#readme but I don't think the official repo offers binary builds of it. Someone does here though: https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens
The second link is this binary build repo. Is anyone familiar with this repo? It seems legit and has a lot of stars, but I want to make sure I'm going to a reputable source. I need to document this for some of our users.

Any easy to use gui to create/deploy/monitor k8s for a devops newbie?
You can use Lens which also offers a free license. I would also take a look at OpenLens. You stated that you were looking for something GUI-centric, but I would also take a look at k9s to help you dig deep into your cluster, quickly.

What daily terminal based tools are you using for cluster management?
To anyone visiting here, I got a lot of feedback for new tools (which I haven't tried yet), both on Youtube and here, so I compiled it into a list: A comment on Lens: Initially I wanted to include Lens in the video but decided it's a bit different in that it's not a CLI / TUI. Many users shared bad experience with Lens, mainly around performance and a large amount of requests it shoots at the cluster API to a point where some companies banned it. These are the tools (I may add a video review on if anyone thinks it's worth it): * https://github.com/kubermatic/fubectl - for an improved kubectl experience * https://github.com/particledecay/kconf - for those with complex kubeconfig changes requirements * https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens - an open version of Lens (note the above before using) * https://github.com/hidetatz/kubecolor - colored kubectl output :) * https://github.com/astefanutti/kubebox - the K9s little brother? * https://github.com/bergerx/kubectl-status - human friendly resource status output
