Popeye is a utility that cruises Kubernetes cluster resources and reports potential issues with your deployment manifests and configurations. By scanning your clusters, it detects misconfigurations and ensure best practices are in place thus preventing potential future headaches.

This is a read-only tool, which means it’s pretty safe to kick the tires. For the back story, check out Fernand’s announcement post.

Operating Kubernetes clusters is becoming more and more taxing in terms of the number of aliases/scripts and single purpose tools one must install/master. K9s is a terminal based CLI to manage and diagnose Kubernetes clusters in a single command. It provides a unified view to navigate and diagnose K8s resources for your local or remote clusters right there in the same CLI.
