Safe operations in kubectl with plugin kubectlsafe

kubectlsafe

Plugin for kubectl for safe write operations in Kubernetes

Before every write (apply, create, etc...) operation, kubectl will ask you about your choice

Installation

It's simple as 1, 2, 3:

Download kubectl-safe to /usr/local/bin, add eXecutable bit and add to your aliases

sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/esin/kubectlsafe/master/kubectl-safe -O /usr/local/bin/kubectl-safe
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/kubectl-safe
echo "alias kubectl='kubectl safe'" >> $HOME/.bashrc
. $HOME/.basrc

If you don't have root access, you can do like this:

mkdir $HOME/bin
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/esin/kubectlsafe/master/kubectl-safe -O $HOME/bin/kubectl-safe
chmod +x $HOME/bin/kubectl-safe
echo "alias kubectl='kubectl safe'" >> $HOME/.bashrc
. $HOME/.basrc

That's all

Example

andrey@andreypc:~$ kubectl delete pod nginx-549cfdbc34-jdos4
Current context is kube-prod. Show must go on? y #Only after that operation will begin
pod "nginx-549cfdbc34-jdos4" deleted
