katdm

katdm is a command-line tool designed for managing and interacting with Kubernetes clusters. It provides a streamlined interface for performing common Kubernetes operations, such as deploying applications, inspecting cluster resources, and troubleshooting issues. The tool aims to simplify the workflow for developers and operators working with Kubernetes.

The functionality of katdm encompasses several key areas. It can be used to apply Kubernetes manifests, typically in YAML format, to create, update, or delete resources like Pods, Deployments, Services, and ConfigMaps. It also offers commands to view the status of these resources, fetch logs from running containers, and execute commands within Pods. Furthermore, katdm can assist in port-forwarding to access applications running in the cluster from a local machine.

One of the design goals of katdm is to offer a more intuitive and user-friendly experience compared to some native Kubernetes tools. It may achieve this through a simplified command structure, intelligent defaults, or helpful output formatting. The tool is often used in conjunction with other development and operational tools in the Kubernetes ecosystem. Its specific features and capabilities can vary depending on the version and any ongoing development, but its core purpose remains centered on facilitating efficient Kubernetes cluster management.
