Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How can I get a list of all namespaces within a specific Kubernetes cluster, using the Kubernetes API?
One option is to use list_namespace(), as described in https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/blob/master/kubernetes/docs/CoreV1Api.md

Running `connect_get_namespaced_pod_exec` using kubernetes client corev1api gives bad request
I have checked the python version == 2.7 and pip freeze - ipaddress==1.0.22, urllib3==1.24.1 and websocket-client==0.54.0 are the versions which satisfy the requirement - as mentioned here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/blob/master/README.md#hostname-doesnt-matchfollowed the issue on this thread - https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/issues/36 - not much help.

How to use the kubernetes-client for executing "kubectl apply"
kubectl apply -f class.yamlkubectl apply -f rbac.yamlkubectl apply -f deployment-arm.yaml I want to use the kubernetes-client written in python to replace it. My current code, loads the there yaml files (using pyyaml), edits them a bit, inserts into a file and use the command line kubectl to execute those three commands. Some of the code:

Tell HN: Amusing Substitutions for Class Keyword
In the Kubernetes Python client code it's called "klass":

and in Apache ecosystem it's called clazz:

Geek's Guide to Kubernetes Image Credential Provider Plugins: No Bloat
I spent more than 8 hours wrestling with Kubernetes image credential provider plugins before finally stumbling upon the real solution. If you think this is as simple as dropping a config into Kind or Minikube think again. It doesn’t work that way, and I’d rather save you the wasted time I went through.

Kubernetes Overview: Container Orchestration & Cloud-Native
Yes, tools like Minikube, kind, and k3s create single-node clusters for development and testing. However, production Kubernetes is designed for distributed environments. Single-node deployments forfeit high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance benefits that justify Kubernetes complexity.

Proxmox VMs, Kairos, Kubernetes automation
I needed a test bed for dumping all my wacky tools, horrible spaghetti code, and other OSS nonsense. Yes, I could use kind (https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) on my own computer, but that would defeat some of the purpose of the things I'm doing: testing production-like environments, testing multi-node cluster things, testing for longer-term viability etc. Kind could probably do all these things, but where's the fun in that? ;)

Unlock your Kubernetes to run custom resource based microservices in any scale
Last step is starting the Kubernetes cluster. As I mentioned HariKube is transparent for Kubernetes, it works with Kubernetes out of the box, but supporting of large datasets requires recompiling Kubernetes API-Server and Controller-Manager. You can follow the guide how to do it here, but for simplicity in this tutorial we use Kind with vanilla Kubernetes.

ToolHive: An MCP Kubernetes Operator
For the installation of the ToolHive Operator, we’ve assumed there is already a Kubernetes cluster available with an Ingress controller. We have used Kind for this post as it is simple to set up, free and easy to use.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing python and kind you can also consider the following projects:
py3cw - Unofficial wrapper for the 3Commas API written in Python
k3d - Little helper to run CNCF's k3s in Docker
pyJoules - A Python library to capture the energy consumption of code snippets
minikube - Run Kubernetes locally
Pyadomd - A pythonic approach to query SSAS data models.
k3s - Lightweight Kubernetes
