octant VS Monokle

I just can't understand why people don't give Octant (https://octant.dev/) a try.

Have you seen Octant https://octant.dev/? (It's a question not a recommendation).

Octant

Like the Kubernetes Dashboard, Octant is an open-source web interface for visualizing your clusters and applications. The solution supports multiple plugins via a core gRPC API, making Octant extensible and richly featured. Like other tools, it provides real-time updates on the health and performance of your cluster’s objects plus related objects. This detailed metrics tracking is meant to simplify the debugging process and highlight problems before they become threatening. Building off of kubectl and kustomize, Octant is a simple and reliable tool for managing the Kubernetes system as a whole.

Octant is one of the best-known tools in the Kubernetes dashboard space. It’s a project that Bryan Liles built a lot of back when he was at Heptio. I remember Bryan talking on Twitter about a new tool he was working on that would help folks think about what was running in their Kubernetes clusters, and that was Octant. VMWare acquired Heptio after that, and now Bryan and Octant are both at VMWare.

Let us wait for a few moments before the URL is reachable. Meanwhile, let us install Octant from here.

If you’re looking for a set of valuable tools that collectively work as a powerful dashboard, Octant may be ideal.

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.
