kube-fledged VS awesome-k8s-resources

Exactly. Part of the appeal to consolidate all of our container images to use Debian-slim is the ability to optimise the caching of layers, both in our container registry but also on our kubernetes cluster’s nodes (which can be done in a consistent manner with kube-fledged[1]).

If you're pulling big images you could try kube-fledged (it's the simplest option, a CRD that works like a pre-puller for your images), or if you have a big cluster you can try a p2p distributor, like kraken or dragonfly2.

Also there's that project called Nydus that allows starting up big containers way faster. IIRC, starts the container before pulling the whole image, and begins to pull data as needed from the registry.

kube fledged - pre pull containes in nodes: https://github.com/senthilrch/kube-fledged

kube-fledged is a kubernetes add-on or operator for creating and managing a cache of container images directly on the worker nodes of a kubernetes cluster. It allows a user to define a list of images and onto which worker nodes those images should be cached (i.e. pulled). As a result, application pods start almost instantly, since the images need not be pulled from the registry. kube-fledged provides CRUD APIs to manage the lifecycle of the image cache, and supports several configurable parameters in order to customize the functioning as per one’s needs.

I found recently this tool kube-fledged that should do what you want..

I recommend you also look at kube-fledged this is more appealing IMHO.

Navigating this vast expanse of options can be overwhelming when deciding which tools to incorporate into your projects. Tom Huang contributes to the solution by meticulously curating an awesome list of Kubernetes tools and resources, categorizing and ranking each Kubernetes application with traction based on GitHub stars.

There are some lists already: * https://github.com/ramitsurana/awesome-kubernetes * https://github.com/tomhuang12/awesome-k8s-resources

Not anything found on the awesome k8s resources list but for example:

A much more comprehensive list can be found here. This is likely a subset of the items in that repo and a few additions of tools i’ve tried out or want to try out to make my K8s life easier.
