pod-dive

Pod dive

A kubectl Krew plugin to dive into your Kubernetes nodes workloads.

Icon art made by Smashicons from Flaticon. We had one before Krew itself, go figure.

Quick Start

kubectl krew install pod-dive
kubectl pod-dive

Why use it

It's much faster than running multiple kubectl commands and having to scroll up and down to look for critical pod info.

What does it look like

$ kubectl pod-dive kafka-operator-kafka-0
Diving after pod kafka-operator-kafka-1:
