<!-- body -->
|
|
|
|
## crictl
|
|
|
|
[`crictl`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cri-tools) is a command-line
|
|
interface for inspecting and debugging {{<glossary_tooltip term_id="cri" text="CRI">}}-compatible
|
|
container runtimes.
|
|
|
|
## Dashboard
|
|
|
|
[`Dashboard`](/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/), the web-based user interface of Kubernetes, allows you to deploy containerized applications
|
|
to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot them, and manage the cluster and its
|
|
resources itself.
|
|
|
|
## Helm
|
|
{{% thirdparty-content single="true" %}}
|
|
|
|
[Helm](https://helm.sh/) is a tool for managing packages of pre-configured
|
|
Kubernetes resources. These packages are known as _Helm charts_.
|
|
|
|
Helm is a third party managed tool for managing packages of pre-configured
|
|
Kubernetes resources, aka Kubernetes charts.
|
|
|
|
Use Helm to:
|
|
|
|
* Find and use popular software packaged as Kubernetes charts
|
|
* Share your own applications as Kubernetes charts
|
|
* Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications
|
|
* Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files
|
|
* Manage releases of Helm packages
|
|
|
|
## Kompose
|
|
|
|
[`Kompose`](https://github.com/kubernetes/kompose) is a tool to help Docker Compose users move to Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
Use Kompose to:
|
|
|
|
* Translate a Docker Compose file into Kubernetes objects
|
|
* Go from local Docker development to managing your application via Kubernetes
|
|
* Convert v1 or v2 Docker Compose `yaml` files or [Distributed Application Bundles](https://docs.docker.com/compose/bundles/)
|
|
|
|
## Kui
|
|
|
|
[`Kui`](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kui) is a GUI tool that takes your normal
|
|
`kubectl` command line requests and responds with graphics.
|
|
|
|
Kui takes the normal `kubectl` command line requests and responds with graphics. Instead
|
|
of ASCII tables, Kui provides a GUI rendering with tables that you can sort.
|
|
|
|
Kui lets you:
|
|
|
|
* Directly click on long, auto-generated resource names instead of copying and pasting
|
|
* Type in `kubectl` commands and see them execute, even sometimes faster than `kubectl` itself
|
|
* Query a {{< glossary_tooltip text="Job" term_id="job">}} and see its execution rendered
|
|
as a waterfall diagram
|
|
* Click through resources in your cluster using a tabbed UI
|
|
|
|
## Minikube
|
|
|
|
[`minikube`](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/) is a tool that
|
|
runs a single-node Kubernetes cluster locally on your workstation for
|
|
development and testing purposes. |
