Tools and utilities

  • xpdig

    xpdig is a terminal UI for exploring Crossplane traces like k9s, so you can inspect object trees, watch changes, and run kubectl actions while debugging composed resources.

  • Mocker

    Mocker is a Docker-compatible CLI and Compose tool for macOS that runs on Apple’s Containerization framework, so existing Docker commands and compose files work without Docker Desktop.

  • Pyrra

    Pyrra is a Kubernetes operator that helps you make SLOs with Prometheus manageable, accessible, and easy to use for everyone.

  • Tilt

    Tilt automates the full dev loop for Kubernetes microservices — file watching, container image builds, and live updates to your cluster, replacing manual docker build && kubectl apply cycles with a single tilt up command and a real-time UI.

  • SOPS Operator: secrets management

    This tool runs inside Kubernetes and automatically decrypts secrets encrypted with Mozilla SOPS, and then creates standard Kubernetes Secret objects from them.

AI Agents Running Kubernetes
AI Agents Running Kubernetes

What happens when an AI agent stops generating Kubernetes YAML and starts operating the cluster directly?

Mike Solomon, software engineer at AIATELLA, explains how his team moved from a sprawling Helm setup to Markdown-driven infrastructure specs that Claude Code can execute, test, and refine.

You will learn

  • Why Helm became hard to maintain for a fast-moving medical infrastructure repo
  • How Claude debugged Argo, TLS conflicts, kubectl patches, and private registry credentials
  • How runbooks plus agent memory files capture failures so deployments become reproducible.

It is a practical look at where Kubernetes automation may be heading: less hand-written YAML, more precise intent, and a sharper definition of when the human must stay in the loop.
