About k10s
k10s is a Kubernetes client for people who look after many clusters at once: the zones of one data center,
regions, staging and production. Often they can see only a few namespaces in each. k10s puts all of those
clusters in one live table, checks your permissions before you act, and stays fast when the fleet is large.
Every selected cluster in one table, connected in parallel: a slow or broken one never holds the rest
back
Made for namespace-restricted RBAC: a prompt instead of a wall of 403 errors, and actions you may not take
grayed out with the reason
Compare an object with its copies in every cluster and see only the fields that differ
Needs attention: what is failing in all the clusters, on one screen
Logs of pods and whole workloads across clusters, merged by time, with a query language, JSON fields and
patterns
Shells, debug containers and port-forwards without kubectl, and Helm releases read straight from the
cluster
A read-only mode enforced by the engine, and confirmations that list every object with its cluster
Keyboard first, with k9s habits, a command palette and a cheat sheet
It's free and open source. No account, no telemetry, no license server.

Frequently asked questions
Is k10s free to download?
Yes. The Download button sends you to github.com, the developer's official site, where k10s is available to download. Appimo doesn't host or modify any files.
