kubevious VS kube-fledged

Unlike the other tools mentioned in this post, Kubevious has no way of changing the cluster state. It is intended solely as an observability tool, focusing on potential issues in your cluster. It highlights potential threats and risks for every resource you may run.

Project: Kubevious

In many ways, Kubevious is like many other Kubernetes Dashboard alternatives in that it provides the capability to view, edit, and maintain your configurations. However, Kubevious is going strong on one specific selling point: simplicity.

But since you asked I’ll give quick summary to the scope of the change. Prior version of Kubevious comes with a graphival view, where resources are reresented in a tree structure under namespaces and grouped in a logical group of “application”. This lets you see configmaps, services, ingresses, etc that are somehow related to this application. See here: https://github.com/kubevious/kubevious

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 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.
