Summary

In this chapter, we have learned how to install, use, and create kubectl plugins. It is useful to know how to expand kubectl with existing plugins, and how to create your ones.

We have learned about a few very handy and useful kubectl plugins:

• ctx: Allows us to switch between Kubernetes clusters very easily
• ns: Allows us to switch between namespaces
• view-allocations: Shows a list of allocations for resources in the cluster

When you work daily with multiple Kubernetes clusters and namespaces, using the ctx and ns plugins will save a lot of time.

In the next chapter, we going to learn how to deploy applications using Kustomize.
