  • K9s is a terminal utility to control your kubernetes, in the past I have been using the kubernetes dashboard
  • but using k9s is a bit faster for some things, specially it allow you to get a shell and see the logs way faster
  • you can use / to search in the list of items, so much like in vim
  • you can use : to change the view, for example :namespaces show you all namespaces, you can select with enter and then see the pods there. or you can do :deployments and select the a deployment press s and to scale to a different number
  • In a nutshell is way more comfortable to use, if you are in the shell working with your yaml files and you don’t need to use the mouse
