## Kubectl
|
|
|
|
[`kubectl`](/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl/) is the command line tool for Kubernetes. It controls the Kubernetes cluster manager.
|
|
|
|
## Kubeadm
|
|
|
|
[`kubeadm`](/docs/setup/production-environment/tools/kubeadm/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).
|
|
|
|
## Minikube
|
|
|
|
[`minikube`](/docs/tasks/tools/install-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/access-application-cluster/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/)
