Kubernetes contains several built-in tools to help you work with the Kubernetes system
|
|
|
|
#### Kubectl
|
|
|
|
[`kubectl`](/docs/user-guide/kubectl/) is the command line tool for Kubernetes. It controls the Kubernetes cluster manager.
|
|
|
|
#### Kubeadm
|
|
|
|
[`kubeadm`](/docs/setup/independent/install-kubeadm/) is the command line tool for easily provisioning a secure Kubernetes cluster on top of physical or cloud servers or virtual machines (currently in alpha).
|
|
|
|
#### Kubefed
|
|
|
|
[`kubefed`](/docs/tutorials/federation/set-up-cluster-federation-kubefed/) is the command line tool
|
|
to help you administrate your federated clusters.
|
|
|
|
#### Minikube
|
|
|
|
[`minikube`](/docs/getting-started-guides/minikube/) is a tool that makes it
|
|
easy to run a single-node Kubernetes cluster locally on your workstation for
|
|
development and testing purposes.
|
|
|
|
#### Dashboard
|
|
|
|
[Dashboard](/docs/tasks/web-ui-dashboard/), the web-based user interface of Kubernetes, allows you to deploy containerized applications
|
|
to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot them, and manage the cluster and its resources itself.
|
|
|
|
#### Helm
|
|
|
|
[Kubernetes Helm](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm) is a tool for managing packages of pre-configured
|
|
Kubernetes resources, aka Kubernetes charts.
|
|
|
|
Use Helm to:
|
|
|
|
* Find and use popular software packaged as Kubernetes charts
|
|
* Share your own applications as Kubernetes charts
|
|
* Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications
|
|
* Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files
|
|
* Manage releases of Helm packages
|
|
|
|
#### Kompose
|
|
|
|
[Kompose](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose) is a tool to help Docker Compose users move to Kubernetes.
|
|
|
|
Use Kompose to:
|
|
|
|
* Translate a Docker Compose file into Kubernetes objects
|
|
* Go from local Docker development to managing your application via Kubernetes
|
|
* Convert v1 or v2 Docker Compose `yaml` files or [Distributed Application Bundles](https://docs.docker.com/compose/bundles/)
