| I have been using kubectl + zsh for quite a while. But now my choice is Intellij (or other IDEs from JetBrains) + Lens, which I find more productive and straightforward (more GUI, fewer commands to memorize). Here's my setup and workflow: 1. For each repository, I put the Kubernetes deployment, service configurations, etc. in the same directory. I open and edit them with Intellij. 2. There's also a centralized repository for Ingress, Certificate, Helm charts, etc. I also open with Intellij. Spend some time to organize Kubernetes configs really worth it. I'm working with multiple projects and the configs gets overwhelming very quickly. 3. Set shortcuts for applying and deleting Kubernetes resources for current configs for Intellij. So I can create, edit, and delete resources in a blink. 4. There's a Kubernetes panel in Intellij for basic monitoring and operations. 5. For more information and operations, I would use Lens instead of Intellij. The operations are very straightforward, I can navigate back and forth, tweak configurations much faster than I could with the shell command only. |
