K9s
Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style!
K9s is a terminal based UI to interact with your Kubernetes clusters. The aim of this project is to make it easier to navigate, observe and manage your deployed applications in the wild. K9s continually watches Kubernetes for changes and offers subsequent commands to interact with your observed resources. Provides standard cluster management commands such as logs, scaling, port-forwards, restarts. Define your own command shortcuts for quick navigation via command aliases and hotkeys. Plugin support to extend K9s to create your very own cluster commands. Powerful filtering mode to allow user to drill down and view workload related resources. Supports for viewing RBAC rules such as cluster/roles and their associated bindings. Reverse lookup to asserts what a user/group or ServiceAccount can do on your clusters. You can benchmark your HTTP services/pods directly from K9s to see how your application fare and adjust your resources request/limit accordingly. -

Kubernetes Dashboard
General-purpose web UI for Kubernetes clusters
Kubernetes Dashboard is a general purpose, web-based UI for Kubernetes clusters. It allows users to manage applications running in the cluster and troubleshoot them, as well as manage the cluster itself. To access Dashboard from your local workstation you must create a secure channel to your Kubernetes cluster. Kubeconfig Authentication method does not support external identity providers or certificate-based authentication. Metrics-Server has to be running in the cluster for the metrics and graphs to be available. Make sure that you know what you are doing before proceeding. Granting admin privileges to Dashboard's Service Account might be a security risk. In most cases after provisioning cluster using kops, kubeadm or any other popular tool, the ClusterRole cluster-admin already exists in the cluster. We can use it and create only ClusterRoleBinding for our ServiceAccount. If it does not exist then you need to create this role first and grant required privileges manually. -

PelicanHPC is an iso-hybrid (CD or USB) image that let's you set up a high performance computing cluster in a few minutes. A Pelican cluster allows you to do parallel computing using MPI. You can run Pelican on a single multiple core machine to use all cores to solve a problem, or you can network multiple computers together to make a cluster. The frontend node (either a real computer or a virtual machine) boots from the image. The compute nodes boot by PXE, using the frontend node as the server. All of the nodes of the cluster get their filesystems from the same image, so it is guaranteed that all nodes run the the same software. Packages can be added to all nodes using apt-get, thanks to aufs. The bootable image is created by running a single script, which takes advantage of the Debian Live infrastructure.

Genv
GPU environment management and cluster orchestration
Genv is an open-source environment and cluster management system for GPUs. Genv lets you easily control, configure, monitor and enforce the GPU resources that you are using in a GPU machine or cluster. It is intended to ease up the process of GPU allocation for data scientists without code changes. -

Faiss
Library for efficient similarity search and clustering dense vectors
Faiss is a library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors. It contains algorithms that search in sets of vectors of any size, up to ones that possibly do not fit in RAM. It also contains supporting code for evaluation and parameter tuning. Faiss is written in C++ with complete wrappers for Python/numpy. Some of the most useful algorithms are implemented on the GPU. It is developed by Facebook AI Research. Faiss contains several methods for similarity search. It assumes that the instances are represented as vectors and are identified by an integer, and that the vectors can be compared with L2 (Euclidean) distances or dot products. Vectors that are similar to a query vector are those that have the lowest L2 distance or the highest dot product with the query vector. It also supports cosine similarity, since this is a dot product on normalized vectors. -

KubeView
Kubernetes cluster visualiser and graphical explorer
Kubernetes cluster visualizer and visual explorer. KubeView displays what is happening inside a Kubernetes cluster (or single namespace), it maps out the API objects and how they are interconnected. Data is fetched in real-time from the Kubernetes API. The status of some objects (Pods, ReplicaSets, Deployments) is color-coded red/green to represent their status and health. The app auto refreshes and dynamically updates the view as new data comes in or when it changes. -

MyCAT
Active, high-performance open source database middleware
MyCAT is an Open-Source software, “a large database cluster” oriented to enterprises. MyCAT is an enforced database which is a replacement for MySQL and supports transaction and ACID. Regarded as MySQL cluster of enterprise database, MyCAT can take the place of expensive Oracle cluster. MyCAT is also a new type of database, which seems like a SQL Server integrated with the memory cache technology, NoSQL technology and HDFS big data. And as a new modern enterprise database product, MyCAT is combined with the traditional database and new distributed data warehouse. In a word, MyCAT is a fresh new middleware of database. MyCAT ’s objective is to smoothly migrate the current stand-alone database and applications to cloud side with low cost and to solve the bottleneck problem caused by the rapid growth of data storage and business scale. -

ClusterSSH (cssh)
Cluster SSH - Cluster Admin Via SSH
ClusterSSH is a tool to manage simultaneous interactive sessions across multiple SSH-accessible hosts. It opens one master terminal and many child terminal windows (or tabs), sending the same keystrokes to all clients while allowing isolated input per host. This is useful when orchestrating repetitive tasks—such as rolling updates or diagnosing distributed systems—without copying and pasting into each window. The interface supports splitting windows, delayed input modes, and host groupings to make clusters more manageable. It also includes features like per-host prompt prefixing or context awareness to avoid confusion in mixed environments. Because the architecture is simple and terminal-based, it works across diverse systems with minimal dependencies and remains popular among sysadmins wanting bulk control with tactile feedback. -

Kubent
Easily check your clusters for use of deprecated APIs
Kubernetes 1.16 is slowly starting to roll out, not only across various managed Kubernetes offerings, and with that come to a lot of API deprecations. Kube No Trouble (Kubent) is a simple tool to check whether you're using any of these API versions in your cluster and therefore should upgrade your workloads first, before upgrading your Kubernetes cluster. This tool will be able to detect deprecated APIs depending on how you deploy your resources, as we need the original manifest to be stored somewhere. -

kubectx
Faster way to switch between clusters and namespaces in kubectl
kubectx is a utility to manage and switch between kubectl contexts. kubectx supports Tab completion on bash/zsh/fish shells to help with long context names. You don't have to remember full context names anymore. kubens is a utility to switch between Kubernetes namespaces. kubens also supports Tab completion on bash/zsh/fish shells. There are several installation options. As kubectl plugins (macOS/Linux), macOS, Homebrew (recommended), MacPorts, Linux, Debian, Arch Linux, Homebrew, Manual installation. You can install and use Krew kubectl plugin manager to get kubectx and kubens. After installing, the tools will be available as kubectl ctx and kubectl ns. Since kubectx/kubens are written in Bash, you should be able to install them to any POSIX environment that has Bash installed. If you want kubectx and kubens commands to present you an interactive menu with fuzzy searching, you just need to install fzf in your PATH. -
