About:
ctlptl is a command-line utility that simplifies the creation and management of local Kubernetes clusters. It abstracts away the complexity of tools like minikube and kind, providing a unified interface to spin up clusters quickly. The tool focuses on making local cluster setup effortless for developers working with containerized applications.
Key Features:
  • Unified CLI for multiple cluster drivers (kind, minikube, Docker Desktop)
  • Declarative configuration support for reproducible cluster setups
  • Automatic port forwarding and registry integration
  • One-command cluster creation and teardown
Use Cases:
  • Setting up consistent local Kubernetes environments for development
  • Testing multi-cluster configurations locally
  • Automating cluster setup in CI/CD pipelines
  • Quickly spinning up disposable clusters for experimentation
Alternatives:
  • kind – ctlptl wraps kind and other tools to provide a higher-level, driver-agnostic interface
  • minikube – ctlptl offers a simpler, more opinionated workflow with declarative config support
  • k3d – ctlptl supports k3d as a driver but focuses on multi-driver orchestration
