Cloud-native tools highlight
Netdata is a distributed, real-time, performance, and health monitoring platform for systems, hardware, containers, and applications, collecting thousands of useful metrics with zero configuration needed. *
werf is a CNCF Sandbox CLI tool to implement full-cycle CI/CD to Kubernetes easily. It integrates into your CI system and leverages familiar and reliable technologies, such as Git, Dockerfile, Helm, and Buildah.
cert-manager adds certificates and certificate issuers as resource types in Kubernetes clusters and simplifies the process of obtaining, renewing, and using those certificates.
Goldilocks is a utility that can help you identify a starting point for resource requests and limits.
Kubehelper simplifies many daily Kubernetes cluster tasks through a web interface. Search, analyze, run commands, cron jobs, reports, filters, git synchronization, and many more.
Fleet is GitOps at scale. Fleet is designed to manage up to a million clusters. It's also lightweight enough that it works great for a single cluster too, but it shines when you get to a large scale
