Thank you for your kind words Fluffer Wuffer! We always enjoy feature requests from the community. I’ve added a GitHub issue for NetworkPolicy Builder. Feel free to add more details.

Try out Monokle—a Kubernetes configuration tool that provides end-to-end visibility, templating, quick error detection, and simplified troubleshooting. It also has a cluster insights module that allows you to connect to your cluster, and see resources, logs, and terminals, along with other things.

Monokle Desktop is an independent project created by Kubeshop, fully open source: https://monokle.io/

Hi! hm... we would have to look into that - please open an issue on our repo with additional details around workflows/problems that we should be solving for in this regard - https://github.com/kubeshop/monokle - thank you!

Monokle is another viable option for doing this pre-deployment. It has OPA functionality integrated so you set up and configure additional policies to be checked earlier in your workflow. It also helps with other pre-deployment validation issues. The performance was a bit off for a while but seems they've been working on it as of late.

Monokle is an open-source IDE for Kubernetes. You can import existing infrastructure code or start fresh with your configuration. Monokle comes as a standalone desktop app, CLI as well as a cloud offering.

I would recommend trying out Monokle because it’s a great tool for creating manifest files for Kubernetes. It offers several features that can help make the process of creating manifests much faster and easier.

We would love to have your input on all these things. We are actively talking to users to discuss use cases and problems that we can help to fix, and we are also establishing partnerships to make Monokle way more useful for your day to day work. You can contact us for a 30’ conversation or join our Discord channel, or you can directly open a new issue in GitHub to let us know what you think.

To support visual feedback for the users who are using tools like Openlens, we can add a +kubebuilder:printcolumn annotation to the MyApp struct. To do so, add the following code to the MyApp struct:

There is also OpenLens (https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens). And for anyone switching from Lens, pod shell and logs functionality can be found as an extension.

`openlens` is now preferred over `Lens`, it has everything you need and none of the fluff that Lens wants to charge you for.

It's actually called OpenLens: https://github.com/lensapp/lens#readme but I don't think the official repo offers binary builds of it. Someone does here though: https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens

It's already at OpenLens readme file: https://github.com/MuhammedKalkan/OpenLens

You can use Lens which also offers a free license. I would also take a look at OpenLens. You stated that you were looking for something GUI-centric, but I would also take a look at k9s to help you dig deep into your cluster, quickly.

For managing clusters via Windows, check out WSL2 + k9s and OpenLens

Yep Rancher or K3s is a good start. As is OpenLens.
