Streamlining Node Access with K9s and kubectl-node-shell
Debugging Kubernetes clusters often requires direct access to nodes. There are several ways to access your nodes... ssh, iLO/DRAC, kubectl debug, etc. I love shortcuts, aliases, functions, and scripts that can help me quickly gather data and help with my troubleshooting. I have found K9s, a powerful terminal UI for Kubernetes, and how to enhance it with kubectl-node-shell for seamless node access. This quick blog will hopefully give you another tool you can use with your kubernetes clusters.
