quick-k8s

Some shortcut commands for using kubectl faster and easier. I've found these commands useful in my experiences with k8s, I hope it will be for ohters too.

Feel free to fork and create your own. making PRs is also welcome.

NEW: Auto-complete on commands!

Commands:

• ke: get shell from a random pod of your deployment

ke <pod/deployment-name-pattern>

Filters the pods that have names match the input pattern and then select one of them randomly. finally, it gets the shell using kubectl exec -it <selected pod> bash.

• klogs: monitor all pods of your deployment, using just one command

klogs <deployment-name-pattern> [ any kubectl logs param/option ]

Filters the pods that have names match the input pattern and print the logs of them separated, using kubectl logs <pod> $* --follow=false.

• kbackup: take backup of your resources especially if you can not commit them, such as secrets and configmaps

kbackup <resource type> <output format{default=yaml}>

Creates a backup of given resource in K8S_BACKUP_DIR{default=~/.k8s_backups} with given format. e.g.

~/.k8s_backups/<date>-<resource type>/<name>.backup

~/.k8s_backups/2020-05-29-secret/secret1.backup

Aliases:

Also I've selected some aliases that I think are handier. like:

• k -> kubectl
• kd -> kubectl describe
• kswitch -> kubectl config use-context

How to Use

If you are using oh-my-zsh, You should just clone the repository and then symlink your quick-k8s.sh file in the custom dir with .zsh extension. e.g.

ln -s /<path-to-repo>/quick-k8s.sh ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/quick-k8s.zsh
