kube VS kftray

https://github.com/kube-rs/kube/blob/main/kube-client/src/api/portforward.rs ill create an issue and start working on implementing it. Thanks for the feedback

Interesting, I haven't tested that one yet. We use kube-rs (https://github.com/kube-rs/kube) under the hood, which does automatically token refresh when needed. But there might be some edge cases not considered.

So I used kube-rs and came up with this: https://github.com/mach-kernel/databricks-kube-operator

Stackable is building k8s operators in Rust for bringing up interconnectable, data crunching applications (being able to bring up a complete data platform on any k8s cluster is the goal). kube-rs is used under the hood and code is open source.

yes, we had a very small API to create who created role bindings for a CI. I chose Rust because it was easy and seems easily maintainable with the kube-rs https://github.com/kube-rs/kube-rs crate

I have experiencie on this. I'm a DevOps engineer that started before DevOps was a thing, and I want to write rust for a living. What I'm doing is writting rust for tooling and kubernetes controllers using https://github.com/kube-rs/kube-rs. Rust and DevOps are close specially if you need to write your own tools. My recommendation is if you have some space to solve problems at your job with rust go and do it, if not try some opensource projects that interest you to get more experience.

While this article is meant to inform and not to promote, I'd like to share a link to kftray, a project I developed that adds new features and improvements to kubectl port-forward. If you're interested, you can check out kftray on GitHub here: kftray on GitHub.

KFtray is a open source cross-platform system tray app made with Tauri (Rust and TypeScript) for Kubernetes users. It simplifies setting up multiple kubectl port forward configurations through a user-friendly interface. Easily store and manage all configurations from local files or GitHub repositories.

feedback and suggestions are welcome!

The latest version of Kftray v0.7.1 introduces a new feature: synchronizing configurations with a GitHub repository. As soon as updates are made to the JSON configuration file, just one click is needed for Kftray to apply them.

As Kubernetes continues to dominate the container orchestration scene, developers and DevOps engineers need tools that streamline their workflows. KFtray answers the call as an cross-platform tray application that brings ease and efficiency to managing multiple Kubernetes port forwarding configurations directly from your menu bar. Let’s explore how KFtray, a tray application built with Rust and React using the Tauri framework, simplifies Kubernetes port forwarding and adds new features compared to the traditional kubectl port-forward.

I have implemented kube-rs, which eliminates the need for kubectl dependency. Thanks! :D https://github.com/hcavarsan/kftray/releases/tag/v0.1.24 https://github.com/hcavarsan/kftray/compare/0bd93452f60b7d85ca1b481d73f8d1256b5491fc...aed8a9ceb3476008ba252c8b91a4c8e23ba17a04
