About k9s
k9s provides a terminal-based interface for navigating, observing, and managing Kubernetes clusters. It continuously watches Kubernetes resources and offers standard CRUD operations with a keyboard-driven workflow.
The tool provides real-time tracking of resources, log tailing, port forwarding, and shell access to containers. Custom resource definitions (CRDs) are automatically discovered and displayed.
k9s features a powerful filtering system, customizable skins, plugin support, and benchmarking capabilities. Its speed and efficiency make it preferred by experienced Kubernetes operators who favor terminal workflows.
As a single binary with no server-side components, k9s is trivial to install and works with any Kubernetes cluster.
