Kubernetes IDE/GUI

There’s various GUI for Kubernetes that I’ve found:

• The default kubernetes dashboard
• Octant

• IntelliJ Service Tool Window (View > Tool Window > Services, Alt+8)

• IntelliJ Cloud Code (most features focused on Google Cloud and Google Cloud projects)

• Kontenta-Lens (most beautiful one :3)

• Kui (like jupyter-notebook, pry/irb/julia, etc, have tutorial mode)

• KubeBox (terminal based GUI)

• k8dash (deployment only)
• HeadLamp (didn’t work)
• K9s (failed to go get, also require license?)

For now my recommendation would be Kontenta-Lens, you’ll get a bird-view of your cluster.

For shell autocomplete, I recommend kube-prompt (or other shell-specific autocomplete)

If you only need docker GUI, you can try Dry

If you prefer web-based GUI, you can try Portainer (it could manage much more than just kubernetes, but also local docker and docker swarm), it’s quite better than Rancher.
