KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024

Kubectl is the most powerful tool that allow you to interact with the API Server of a Kubernetes cluster. We use it everyday to list the pods, deploy a service, scale a deployment to 5 replicas... but do you know that you can add custom features to the kubectl CLI? Indeed, Kubernetes is an extensibe world that allows you to extends most of its components (Network, Storage, Container runtime, webhooks … ) and even the kubectl CLI. In this talk, Gaëlle and Aurélie will show you how it can be easy to create a plugin in a few minutes. For that, they will create, in live, a plugin in Bash, to make our pods more user-friendly. But that's not all! The goal of this talk is also to share our awesome plugin with others and for that, Krew is “The place to be”. At the end of this talk you will have all the marbles in hand in order to be able to create & share your own plugin to the world or only to your internal teams. Ready? Create your own plugins!
