Tools for K8s

If you have enough energy to cross the threshold, there’s a lot to win by looking into kubernetes tools. One of these tools is Stern. It’s a convenient tool that helps you follow the logs of multiple pods at the same time, separating the pod output through color coding. Very convenient! On thing that might trouble you is the installation though. If you’re on Mac it’s easy, just use Brew and you’re up and running. If you’re on Linux you’re adviced to setup Go and install the tool. My recommendation is to not do this. Instead I recommend you to install Brew on your Linux machine and install it there. I know, it feels bad to add yet another package manager, but it really simplifies things. Reading the instructions on installation otherwise it says you must use Govendor, which is a deprecated project.

Code of the Day

brew install stern

easy as that.
