Jenkins Agents On Kubernetes
default is where any actions which require a namespace will go into if one is not explicitly defined in a default setup (tools such as kubens can alter this behavior). In the context of Jenkins, namespaces are a useful way to allow isolation of individual Jenkins instances that want to utilize the same Kubernetes cluster. Creation of a namespace is a simple option to kubectl:

[ANN] Kele: Snappy Kubernetes cluster management in Emacs
For a peek at what's currently possible, visit the documentation site, in particular the Usage section. For this initial release, it has feature parity with kubectx and kubens and that's about it, but there's lots of room for growth.

Introduction to Helm: Comparison to its less-scary cousin APT
Generally I felt as if I was diving in the deepest of waters without the correct equipement and that was horrifying. Unfortunately to me, I had to dive even deeper before getting equiped with tools like ArgoCD, and k8slens. I had to start working with... HELM.

Imagine the best Kubernetes Dashboard. What does it have?
Indeed you can, with several "paid" features removed, like log tailing and pod shells. They deliberately hobbled the product. If you want to use Lens, my advice is pay for the supported version.

observing logs from Kubernetes pods without headaches
yes I know there is lens, but it does not allow me to see logs of multiple pods at same time and what is even more important it is not friendly for ephemeral clusters - in my case with help of kind I am recreating whole cluster each time from scratch

Fastest way to set up an k8s environment ?
