Kubernetes + Steampipe

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

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

For example:

select
  name,
  namespace,
  phase,
  creation_timestamp,
  pod_ip
from
  kubernetes_pod;

Get started

Install

Download and install the latest Kubernetes plugin:

steampipe plugin install kubernetes

Configuration

Installing the latest kubernetes plugin will create a config file (~/.steampipe/config/kubernetes.spc) with a single connection named kubernetes:

connection "kubernetes" {
  plugin      = "kubernetes"
}

This will create a kubernetes connection that uses the default kubeconfig context.

Advanced configuration options

If you have a kube config setup using the kubectl CLI Steampipe just works with that connection.

The Kubernetes plugin allows you set the name of kube kubectl context with the config_context argument in any connection profile. You may also specify the path to kube config file with config_path argument.

Credentials via kube config

connection "k8s_minikube" {
  plugin         = "kubernetes"
  config_context = "minikube"
  # config_path    = "~/.kube/config"
}
