Tools and utilities

  • kubectl-find: find plugin

    This tool gives you a find-like experience for Kubernetes resources, letting you search by name regex, age, labels, status, image name or node, then patch, exec or delete the matching items.

  • Sablier: on-demand containers

    This code tool allows you to start containers only when needed and automatically stop them after a period of inactivity.

  • json2k8s: Opinionated Kubernetes CLI

    This code tool converts JSON files into Kubernetes resource manifests, allowing you to use JSON/jsonnet workflows while still generating valid YAML for Kubernetes.

  • Kubeswitch: kubeconfig tool

    Kubeswitch is a command-line tool designed to ease switching between different kubectl contexts.

  • PIQC: vLLM inference fact collector for Kubernetes

    PIQC scans Kubernetes clusters for vLLM and Ray Serve workloads, collects GPU, model, cost, utilization, KV cache, and waste facts, then prints an actionable inference cost report.
