ranching.farm kubectl Addon

What is ranching.farm?

ranching.farm is a Kubernetes management platform that leverages AI to simplify cluster operations and troubleshooting. It's designed for DevOps engineers and SREs who want to streamline their Kubernetes workflows and get intelligent assistance for common tasks. It can also be used as a training platform and e-learning resource for beginners and intermediates alike.

We offer two ways of connecting your k8s deployment to our AI:

1. Use our k8s-agent to deploy it straight into your kubernetes cluster.
2. Use our kubectl-addon (this repository) to run it locally on your machine using your kubectl configuration.

What does ranching.farm do?

Once you are connected to ranching.farm through either the k8s-agent or the kubectl-addon, you gain access to a powerful AI-assisted Kubernetes management experience. Here's what you can do:

• AI-Powered Chat: Interact with your cluster using natural language through either OpenAI's latest ChatGPT model or Anthropic's Claude. Choose the AI that best fits your needs.

• Kubernetes Command Execution: The AI can utilize kubectl, helm, and kustomize to perform a wide range of operations on your cluster.

• Cluster Debugging: Get assistance in debugging complex issues, including DNS problems within your cluster.

• Intelligent Analysis: Receive insights and recommendations based on your cluster's state and configuration.

• Learning and Training: Use the platform as an interactive learning tool to improve your Kubernetes skills.

ranching.farm acts as an intelligent assistant, helping you manage, troubleshoot, and optimize your Kubernetes environment more efficiently.

This kubectl addon allows you to connect your Kubernetes cluster to the ranching.farm platform. Once connected, you can interact with your cluster through our AI-powered interface.
