  • kubie

    A more powerful alternative to kubectx and kubens

  • https://github.com/sbstp/kubie might be what you’re after. Manages kubeconfig files without having to merge them, also replaces kctx and kns commands.

  • kconf

    Manage multiple kubeconfigs easily

  • See my other comment re: kconf. It's as simple as kconf add /my/file.conf. You could also pipe in from stdin (like if you're reading from Vault): vault kv get -field=kubeconfig /path/to/conf | kconf add.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • kubectx

    Faster way to switch between clusters and namespaces in kubectl

  • Currently I'm searching for a good solution to managing multiple kubeconfigs on my local machine. I use a lot k9s and I have to switch a lot between different clusters and contexts. That switching I solved with kubectx https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx

  • kubecm

    Manage your kubeconfig more easily.

  • I haven't used it myself, but this might be what you're looking for? https://github.com/sunny0826/kubecm

  • konfig

    konfig helps to merge, split or import kubeconfig files (by corneliusweig)

  • I just read about this in the latest KubeWeekly: https://github.com/corneliusweig/konfig

  • kubeswitch

    The kubectx for operators.

  • You can check out https://github.com/danielfoehrKn/kubeswitch. Also comes with isolated terminal sessions + other advanced features such as history support and integration with GKE, AKS, Gardener, Vault & soon more.
