Kubernetes Insights Mod

Create dashboards and reports for your Kubernetes resources using Steampipe.

Overview

Dashboards can help answer questions like:

How many resources do I have?
How old are my resources?
What are the various configurations of my resources?
What are the relationships between closely connected resources like clusters, nodes, pods, deployments and jobs?
Who can perform operations like list, get, read etc. on my resources?

Dashboards are available for 10+ resources, including Clusters, DaemonSets, Deployments, Nodes, Pods, Services, and more. Dashboards are also available for RBAC security controls, where you can check the assigned permissions to different resources.

References

Kubernetes also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Steampipe is an open source CLI to instantly query cloud APIs using SQL.

Steampipe Mods are collections of named queries, codified controls that can be used to test the current configuration of your cloud resources against the desired configuration, and dashboards that organize and display key pieces of information.
