About:
kumactl is the official command-line interface for Kuma, an open-source service mesh for universal environments. It enables operators to manage Kuma's control plane, inspect data plane proxies, and configure mesh policies. The tool provides essential commands for deploying, observing, and troubleshooting service mesh operations across Kubernetes and VM-based infrastructures.
Key Features:
  • Manage Kuma control plane resources via CLI
  • Inspect and debug data plane proxy configurations
  • Support for Kubernetes and universal environments
  • Interactive shell mode with auto-completion
  • Port-forwarding capabilities to Kuma services
Use Cases:
  • Deploying and configuring Kuma service mesh on Kubernetes clusters
  • Troubleshooting connectivity issues between microservices in the mesh
  • Automating mesh policy management in CI/CD pipelines
  • Monitoring proxy status and health across the service mesh
Alternatives:
  • istioctl – Istio-specific CLI with similar functionality for Istio service mesh
  • linkerd – Linkerd CLI for managing Linkerd service mesh operations
  • kubectl – Generic Kubernetes CLI that can manage Kuma CRDs but lacks mesh-specific features
