About:
Octant is a web-based visual interface for Kubernetes that provides a real-time, interactive view of your clusters, workloads, and service dependencies. It allows developers to inspect and debug their applications without needing to use the kubectl command line extensively. Its main value is in making complex Kubernetes objects and relationships more tangible and easier to understand.
Key Features:
  • Visual cluster topology and resource viewer
  • Real-time metrics and event streaming
  • Plugin system for extensibility
  • Port-forwarding and log streaming from the UI
  • Interactive resource YAML editing
Use Cases:
  • Debugging and understanding Kubernetes application deployments
  • Providing a visual overview for developers new to Kubernetes
  • Monitoring live cluster state and resource relationships
Alternatives:
  • k9s – Terminal-based UI, faster for keyboard-heavy users but less visually detailed.
  • Lens – Feature-rich desktop IDE for Kubernetes, more complex and resource-intensive.
