Kubelive NPM | npm.io

Motivation

I felt that the output from kubectl get pod -w is very cluttered and it is a pain in my ass to understand which pod is running, which pod is exactly terminating so I built kubelive which updates the status of the pods in realtime without cluttering the terminal

Requirements

node v10 or higher

Installation

npm install -g kubelive

Available commands

List the pods in the cluster

kubelive get pods

List the services in the cluster

kubelive get services

List the replication controllers in the cluster

kubelive get replicationcontrollers

List the nodes in the cluster

kubelive get nodes

List resources from a different context

List the pods in the cluster in a jiffy

kubelive

Get help on all available commands

Get the current kubelive version

Kubelive also supports short names for resources similar to kubectl, the below command will list services
