A similar tool is Popeye. It works on any cluster, not just clusters hosted on GKE. https://github.com/derailed/popeye

I've used Popeye because it comes shipped with k9s, which is the best k8s "dashboard" in my opinion. I really like it but it tends to bug out a bit on my terminal.

they put all the best to k9s: ncurses style of UI + vi style of key bindings

Given that is specific for GCP, and developed by somebody within Google, why not including it directly in the webconsole?

This is not an officially supported Google product.

How does this work? It's developed by google but it's not officially supported?

It's likely someone's 20% project.

As many people predicted years ago (I can't claim to know k8s that well, in fact I suck at it), eventually we'll go full circle and k8s config will just become its own specialized programming language.

Maybe we should stop moving these things so agonizingly slow and through the path of natural (and did I mention slow as molasses) evolution and just skip to the endgame that most of us know will inevitably come?

Apparently not.

I'd like to see Google being more brave here. They are on the forefront of k8s in many ways (or so it seems, maybe I am wrong?). Just make a specialized programming language with a good compiler / linter and let's all collectively be better for it.

Why do you need a 'specialized programming language' when kube for most people, is just waiting for various objects via api?

I mean, sure, ATM it can be a bit painful to generate your 'Deployment' object in json or yaml or whatever, but then it's just a post to the kubeapi and it's done.. You can do that in any language you want..

What am I missing?
