    Hey folks. I'm the author of kr8s. I’ve been working on kr8s for a while now and one of my core goals is to build a Python library for Kubernetes that is the most simple, readable and produces the most maintainable code. It should enable folks to write clean code when working with the Kubernetes API. If you're interested in how it compares with other libraries then check out [this post](https://jacobtomlinson.dev/posts/2023/comparison-of-kr8s-vs-...). Happy to answer any questions you might have in the comments here .

    Hello HN community! I'm excited to share K8s Cleaner, a tool designed to help you clean up your Kubernetes clusters. As Kubernetes environments grow, they often accumulate unused resources, leading to confusion, waste, and clutter. K8s-cleaner simplifies the process of identifying and removing unnecessary components. The tool scans your Kubernetes clusters for unused or orphaned resources—including pods, services, ingresses, and secrets—and removes them safely. You can fully customize which resources to scan and delete, maintaining complete control over what stays and what goes. Getting…

    Hi HN! We’re Yann, Edouard, and Bastien from Koyeb (https://www.koyeb.com/). We’re building a platform to let you deploy full-stack apps on high-performance hardware around the world, with zero configuration. We provide a “global serverless feeling”, without the hassle of re-writing all your apps or managing k8s complexity [1]. We built Scaleway, a cloud service provider where we designed ARM servers and provided them as cloud servers. During our time there, we saw customers struggle with the same issues while trying to deploy full-stack applications and APIs resiliently. As…

    Hi Everyone! Kubetail is a general-purpose logging dashboard for Kubernetes, optimized for tailing logs across multi-container workloads in real-time. With Kubetail, you can view logs from all the containers in a workload (e.g. Deployment or DaemonSet) merged into a single chronological timeline, delivered to your browser or terminal. I launched Kubetail on HN last year and at that time the top request was to add search. Now I'm happy to say we finally have search available in our latest official release (cli/v0.4.3, helm/v0.10.1). You can check it out in action here:…

    Hi Everyone! Kubetail is a new project I've been working on. It's a private, real-time log viewer for Kubernetes clusters. You deploy it inside your cluster and access it via a web browser, like the Kubernetes Dashboard. Using kubetail, you can view logs in real-time from multiple Workload containers simultaneously. For example, you can view all the logs from the Pod containers running in a Deployment and the UI will update automatically as the pods come into and out of existence. Kubetail uses your in-cluster Kubernetes API so your logs are always in your possession and it's private by…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share an open-source project I’ve been working on called k8sAI. It’s a personal AI Kubernetes expert that can answer questions about your cluster, suggests commands, and even executes relevant kubectl commands to help diagnose and suggest fixes to your cluster, all in the CLI! As a relative newcomer to k8s, this tool has really streamlined my workflow. I can ask questions about my cluster, k8sAI will run kubectl commands to gather info, and then answer those question. It’s also found several issues in my cluster for me - all I’ve had to do is point it in the right…
