1. Kubectl The Primary Kubernetes Administration Tool

[rakhirhif8963]

Kubectl is without a doubt the most important Kubernetes tool. It is a command-line utility that is used by default in most Kubernetes distributions for cluster administration, pod deployment, workload health checks, etc.

Some distributions use other CLI tools for administration; for example, OpenShift primarily uses oc, which provides almost the same functionality as kubectl, with some additional capabilities. But overall, kubectl is the primary tool for managing Kubernetes.

2. Kubectx: for cluster context switching
One of the first things you'll notice when using bahrain mobile database is that it needs to be configured to the "context" of the cluster you want to manage. Otherwise, kubectl won't know how to interact with the cluster you're working with.

If you only need to manage one cluster, you can set up the kubectl context once and move on. But what if you have multiple clusters? Manually resetting the context every time you need to work with a different cluster is a pain.

Kubectx solves this problem. It is an open-source Kubernetes tool that allows you to switch between kubectl contexts with a single command.

3. Prometheus: for monitoring Kubernetes
The list of monitoring tools that support Kubernetes is very long. Some are open source, some are not. Some were designed for cloud-native environments like Kubernetes, while others were built with other use cases in mind, although they can support Kubernetes.

If you’re looking for a Kubernetes monitoring solution that’s both open source and designed to monitor containers and other cloud-native workloads, Prometheus is probably the most obvious choice. It ticks all the basic boxes for a Kubernetes monitoring tool, and the fact that it’s free and open source is an added bonus.
