A collection of plugins installable via Krew
- All coding was written to maintain compatibility across both BSD and GNU.
kubectl krew install exec-as
kubectl krew install prompt
kubectl krew remove exec-as
To remove the prompt plugin:
kubectl krew remove prompt
ex '+g/function kubectl()/d' -cwq ~/.bash_profile
ex '+g/KUBECTL_\(.*\)_PROMPT/d' -cwq ~/.bash_profile
- Like kubectl exec, but offers a --user flag to exec as root (or any other user)
- Works by mounting a docker socket as a volume
- You must be in the same namespace as the target pod or you can use
-n namespaceoption to specify the namespace - Kudos to mikelorant for thinking of the docker socket! :)

kubectl prompt add -n production - Flag a cluster:
kubectl prompt add -c my-cluster - List flagged environments:
kubectl prompt list - Clear flagged environments:
kubectl prompt remove - View description:
