For a different sort of person, but there's some rather old efforts to expose Kubernetes & Etcd under FUSE , which would also be neat direct access. https://github.com/opencredo/KubeFuse https://github.com/cstavr/etcdfs And since I was curious, there's also a spreadsheet to FUSE too, https://github.com/mk270/xls-fuse As far as I know, the only 3d representation of Kubernetes is KubeDoom, https://github.com/s…
