kubectl-klone

Klone is a tool that creates a replica of any Kubernetes pod in the same environment as the original.

The replica retains the following characteristics of the original

• Egress connections
• Resourcing
• Configurations
• Flags

Differences from the original pod

• Klone creates a separate port forward tunnel to the ingress of the replica. The replica can only be accessed through this tunnel.
• The port forward tunnels can be used to send a request to this duplicate pod (using Curl/ Postman) or to connect to the pod directly from IDE and debug remotely

Klone is language-agnostic
