kdash VS k9s

A simple terminal dashboard for Kubernetes built with Rust, best alternative k9s

kdash: A fast and simple dashboard for Kubernetes. Its created by me :)

[Optional] KDash

Note: I'm using KDash to monitor the cluster; you can try it or use kubectl, k9s, and so on as you prefer.

When you communicate with a Kubernetes cluster, using kubectl, or a client library, or a tool like KDash, you are primarily interacting with the Kubernetes API server. The API server is responsible for managing the cluster and is responsible for handling requests from a client.

Mostly KDash and if possible progress on a JHipster blueprint for Rust microservices

I'm not building web-apps yet, currently i'm doing a terminal UI app. You can check the cargo.toml for deps. I'm planning to build a Rust blueprint for JHipster quite soon so I'll be able to directly compare productivity with Spring boot. And yes there is no equivalent of SB in Rust but I don't think you need that in Rust, there are great web frameworks like Actix or Rocket which provides most of what you need from SB and since you dont have to do OOP in Rust you actually dont need many Hibernate like features IMO, but you have http://diesel.rs/ to cover that.

Pierre: The first tool I recommend is K9s. It's not just a time-saver but a productivity booster. With its intuitive interface, you can speed up all the usual kubectl commands, access logs, edit resources and configurations, and more. It's like having a personal assistant for your cluster management tasks.

The last thing you really need is a common set of tools that you want fingertip access to. I really commonly use LazyGit and K9s in my day job so those are the tools I will show off in this article.

K9s is your best friend (get it? 🐶) when exploring your cluster via the terminal. It shares commonality with Vim for its interaction style using shortcuts and starting commands with: but don’t let that discourage you. K9s keeps a vigilant eye on Kubernetes activities, providing real-time information and intuitive commands for resource interaction.

k9s: brew install k9s

I would like to put in a vote for k9s, which is also on the list at Terminal Trove. [0] It's the most convenient tool I've ever found for Kubernetes management. Based on that experience I'll definitely be checking out Harlequin.

$ wget https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.29.1/k9s_Darwin_amd64.tar.gz $ tar -xzf k9s_Darwin_amd64.tar.gz $ sudo mv k9s /usr/local/bin/

All in all, run things, do some kubectl apply -f something.yml every day, install k9s, and try to configure a big one cluster at some point.

(K9s is one of my favorite tools for navigating Kubernetes clusters through the CLI).

K9s is an open-source, terminal-based UI for interacting with your Kubernetes clusters, making navigating, observing, and managing your apps easier. If you use Kubectl but wish it was easier and faster to use, K9s might be just what you're looking for!
