cri-dockerd
dockerd as a compliant Container Runtime Interface for Kubernetes
This adapter provides a shim for Docker Engine that lets you control Docker via the Kubernetes Container Runtime Interface. Mirantis and Docker have agreed to partner to maintain the shim code standalone outside Kubernetes, as a conformant CRI interface for the Docker Engine API. For Mirantis customers, that means that Docker Engine’s commercially supported version, Mirantis Container Runtime (MCR), will be CRI compliant. This means that you can continue to build Kubernetes based on the Docker Engine as before, just switching from the built-in docker shim to the external one. Mirantis and Docker intend to work together to make sure it continues to work as well as before and that it passes all the conformance tests and continues to work just like the built-in version did. Mirantis will be using this in Mirantis Kubernetes Engine, and Docker will continue to ship this shim in Docker Desktop. -

Podman Desktop
A graphical tool for developing on containers and Kubernetes
Podman Desktop is an open source graphical tool enabling you to seamlessly work with containers and Kubernetes from your local environment. Podman Desktop installs, configures, and keeps Podman up to date on your local environment. It provides a system tray, to check status and interact with your container engine without losing focus from other tasks. The desktop application provides a dashboard to interact with containers, images, pods, and volumes but also configures your environment with your OCI registries and network settings. Podman Desktop also provides capabilities to connect and deploy pods to Kubernetes environments. -

cri-tools
CLI and validation tools for Kubelet Container Runtime Interface (CRI)
CLI and validation tools for Kubelet Container Runtime Interface (CRI). cri-tools aims to provide a series of debugging and validation tools for Kubelet CRI. It's recommended to use the same cri-tools and Kubernetes minor version, because new features added to the Container Runtime Interface (CRI) may not be fully supported if they diverge. cri-tools follows the Kubernetes release cycles with respect to its minor versions (1.x.y). Patch releases (1.x.z) for Kubernetes are not in sync with those from cri-tools, because they are scheduled for each month, whereas cri-tools provides them only if necessary. If a Kubernetes release goes End of Life, then the corresponding cri-tools version can be considered in the same way. -

ContainerSSH
ContainerSSH: Launch containers on demand
An SSH Server that Launches Containers in Kubernetes and Docker. Building a lab environment can be time-consuming. ContainerSSH solves this by providing dynamic SSH access with APIs, automatic cleanup on logout using ephemeral containers, and persistent volumes for storing data. Perfect for vendor and student labs. Provide production access to your developers, give them their usual tools while logging all changes. Authorize their access and create short-lived credentials for the database using simple webhooks. Clean up the environment on disconnect. Study SSH attack patterns up close. Drop attackers safely into network-isolated containers or even virtual machines, and capture their every move using the audit logging ContainerSSH provides. The built-in S3 upload ensures you don't lose your data. -

Kubie
A more powerful alternative to kubectx and kubens
kubie is an alternative to kubectx, kubens, and the k on prompt modification script. It offers context switching, namespace switching, and prompt modification in a way that makes each shell independent from others. It also has support for split configuration files, meaning it can load Kubernetes contexts from multiple files. You can configure the paths where Kubie will look for contexts, see the settings section. Kubie also has other nice features such as kubie exec which allows you to execute commands in a context and a namespace without having to spawn a shell and kubie lint which scans your k8s config files for issues and informs you of what they are. -

Kubeval
Validate your Kubernetes configuration files, supports Kubernetes
Kubeval is used to validate one or more Kubernetes configuration files and is often used locally as part of a development workflow as well as in CI pipelines. The Kubernetes API allows for specifying properties on objects that are not part of the schemas. However, kubectl will throw an error if you use it with such files. Kubeval can be used to simulate this behavior using the --strict flag. Alternatively, Kubeval can also take input via stdin which can make using it as part of an automated pipeline easier by removing the need to securely manage temporary files. -

Multus-CNI
A CNI meta-plugin for multi-homed pods in Kubernetes
Multus CNI enables attaching multiple network interfaces to pods in Kubernetes. Multus CNI is a container network interface (CNI) plugin for Kubernetes that enables attaching multiple network interfaces to pods. Typically, in Kubernetes each pod only has one network interface (apart from a loopback) -- with Multus you can create a multi-homed pod that has multiple interfaces. This is accomplished by Multus acting as a "meta-plugin", a CNI plugin that can call multiple other CNI plugins. The quickstart installation method for Multus requires that you have first installed a Kubernetes CNI plugin to serve as your pod-to-pod network, which we refer to as your "default network" (a network interface that every pod will be created with). Each network attachment created by Multus will be in addition to this default network interface. -

fn
The container native, cloud agnostic serverless platform.
The Fn project is an open-source container-native serverless platform that you can run anywhere -- any cloud or on-premise. It’s easy to use, supports every programming language, and is extensible and performant. Functions are small but powerful blocks of code that generally do one simple thing. Forget about monoliths when using functions, just focus on the task that you want the function to perform. Our CLI tool will help you get started quickly.
