Usage
$ ckube
A CLI to simplify working with kubectl.
Usage:
ckube [command]
Available Commands:
deployment Get information about deployments
exec execute a command in a container
help Help about any command
logs get logs from a service
ls Interactive list of pods
nodes Lists pods grouped by node
service Interactive view of your services
top View cpu and memory usage for pods
Flags:
--context string the kubernetes context (defaults to value currently used by kubectl)
-h, --help help for ckube
--kubeconfig string path to kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests (defaults to $KUBECONFIG or $HOME/.kube/config)
-l, --labels string Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2)
-n, --namespace string the kubernetes namespace (defaults to value currently used by kubectl)
Use "ckube [command] --help" for more information about a command.
Targeting pods can be burdensome (i.e. in a deployment with replicas). If a k8s cluster has a service called nginx you could have several pods which might be named something like this:
nginx-3528986049-kpd4z
nginx-3528986049-71s10
nginx-3528986049-f6mwf
nginx-3528986049-ltx6j
nginx-3528986049-m3cmm
nginx-3528986049-h8cnn
nginx-3528986049-6v4c1
Getting logs for the nginx service is easy with ckube
# single uspecified nginx pod:
ckube logs nginx
# all nginx pods
ckube logs nginx -a
# follow the logs
ckube logs nginx -f
Similar concurrent functionality exists for exec
You can toggle through your services and see the associated pods. ckube service
You can use ckube nodes to show which pods are running on each node
Get an interactive view of your pods with ckube ls. You can further refine the prompt results by searching using /. Selecting a pod will print detailed pod information returned by kubectl describe
