Overview

Kubernator is an innovative alternative to the standard Kubernetes UI, designed for users who prefer a more granular, low-level control over their Kubernetes clusters. Unlike the high-level Kubernetes Dashboard, Kubernator provides a clean, user-friendly interface that allows you to create, edit, and resolve conflicts with various cluster objects seamlessly. Being a client-side app, it requires only the Kubernetes API server, emphasizing the importance of security and cluster access control.

This tool is especially useful for developers and DevOps engineers who need detailed insights into their Kubernetes infrastructure. With features that promote efficiency and clarity, Kubernator enhances the management experience by providing extensive capabilities without overwhelming users.

Features

• Intuitive Catalog Interface: Easily manage Kubernetes objects like Deployments and Services through a powerful diff editor that allows for the creation, comparison, modification, and removal of items.
• Dynamic Navigation Tree: View objects organized by namespaces, with API groups fetched to ensure a comprehensive list of versions and endpoints is always available.
• Extensive Caching: Speeds up loading times by caching API responses in the browser’s local storage, ensuring that information is readily available for repeated use without unnecessary delays.
• Support for Multiple API Versions: Access objects through various API versions, automatically selecting the appropriate endpoint when creating new items based on their apiVersion field.
• Colored Tabs for Easy Tracking: Tabs reflect object state with color coding—new objects in green and modified but not submitted ones in red—for easier navigation and status monitoring.
• Persistent Local Modifications: Any changes made to objects are saved locally, even when tabs are closed, allowing for a smooth work experience without the fear of losing edits.
• Copying Objects with Ease: Streamlined copying of objects that excludes unnecessary and read-only fields, enhancing user efficiency when duplicating configurations.
