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.

Lens

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.

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.

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

Let's wait for few seconds for the pods to become green, I am using Lens, it's awesome btw.

You probably don't need Rancher unless you need a GUI or manage multiple clusters, Lens or k9s might be a better fit for your use case.

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