We want to know: what kind of dev tools would make your Kubernetes development experience better? It can be a tool to simplify deployments, streamline cluster management, enhance scalability, or something completely innovative. All ideas are welcome. TIA!
Instead of asking people for their dev tool ideas, ask them what problems they have with Kubernetes that aren't yet solved well for them. With that information you can iterate on dev tool ideas that could potentially solve those problems. In my experience people understand their problems better than the potential solutions to those problems, and right now you're asking people for their solutions.
Since the infrastructure already knows (and controls) this information, it would be the ideal place to actually generate a signed attestation that a pod is who it says it is.
Better templating, example https://github.com/emcfarlane/kubestar which uses starlark for kubernetes config.
import os
"""
Imports redacted, but this imports our library
"""
NAME = "my_app"
PORT = 5000
DEPLOY_ENV = os.environ["DEPLOY_ENV"]
deploy_all(
create_stateful_service(
NAME, http_port=PORT, cpu=2000, memory=500
),
create_ingress(
NAME,
service_name=NAME,
service_port=PORT,
hostnames=["myapp.internal.com"],
),
)

The firm I work at developed an internal library (open source soon hopefully!) that does all our templating in Python, example: import os """ Imports redacted, but this imports our library """ NAME = "my_app" PORT = 5000 DEPLOY_ENV = os.environ["DEPLOY_ENV"] deploy_all( create_stateful_service( NAME, http_port=PORT, cpu=2000, memory=500 ), create_ingress( NAME, service_name=NAME, service_port=PORT, hostnames=["myapp.…

Most of what people need in k8s-land is not one small tool, but a complex intelligent solution that (today) requires a well-trained human to do analysis and then figure out some action to take. The automation that should be there by default but isn't. So you could start by asking people about problematic or time-consuming situations they face in k8s, and automate that.
