This project provides an AI-powered assistant for interacting with Kubernetes clusters directly from the terminal. It targets Kubernetes users, developers, and operators seeking to streamline cluster management and troubleshooting by leveraging natural language queries. The primary benefit is faster, more intuitive cluster operations without needing to memorize complex kubectl commands.

How It Works

The tool translates natural language prompts into executable kubectl commands. It supports multiple LLM providers, including Google's Gemini, OpenAI, and local models via Ollama and llama.cpp. Users can interact conversationally or provide single commands. The underlying mechanism involves parsing the user's intent, selecting the appropriate LLM and model, generating the kubectl command, executing it, and presenting the results with explanations.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Installation: Download binary from releases, make executable, and add to $PATH.
• Prerequisites: kubectl installed and configured.
• API Keys: Required for cloud-based LLMs (Gemini, OpenAI).
• Local LLMs: Requires Ollama or llama.cpp to be running and models pulled.
• Docs: Kubernetes Plugins

Highlighted Details

• Supports Gemini, Vertex AI, Azure OpenAI, OpenAI, Ollama, and llama.cpp LLM providers.
• Offers interactive chat mode for contextual conversations.
• Can be used as a kubectl plugin (kubectl ai).
• Includes k8s-bench for evaluating LLM performance on Kubernetes tasks.
