Products that do what Kty – The Terminal for Kubernetes does

kty is an SSH server written in rust that provides a TUI-based dashboard mapping k8s concepts onto SSH. It relies on OpenID providers for identity so that you don't need to introduce anything special to your stack. With SSH in place, there are some fun things you can do which are difficult otherwise: - Forward traffic from a service on the cluster to your local laptop using `ssh -R`. - Forward traffic from a local port to the cluster using `ssh -L`. - Use `scp` or any sftp client natively to copy files in and out of containers. - Shell into a container from anywhere that SSH is supported.

    Kuack – Run Kubernetes jobs in visitor browsers▲5

    WebAssembly makes it possible to run serious computation in browsers. I wanted to see if we could treat browsers as Kubernetes workers. Kuack is a Virtual Kubelet provider that schedules Kubernetes workloads to browser tabs. Visitors' browsers connect, report capacity, and become ephemeral workers. It looks like a regular Kubernetes node - same kubectl commands, same OCI images, same workflows. The difference is that pods execute in browsers instead of servers. With multi-platform OCI images, Kubernetes can fall back to regular nodes if no agents are available. It's designed for short-lived,…
