Kubernetes CLI (kubectl) wrapper in Python with OAuth token authentication.

This wrapper script zkubectl serves as a drop-in replacement for the kubectl binary:

  • it downloads the current kubectl binary from Google

  • it generates a new ~/.kube/config with an OAuth Bearer token acquired via zign.

  • it passes through commands to the kubectl binary

Installation

Requires Python 3.6+.

$ sudo pip3 install --upgrade zalando-kubectl

Usage

You can directly login to a known Kubernetes API server endpoint:

$ zkubectl login https://my-api-server.example.org
$ zkubectl cluster-info

You can also configure a Cluster Registry to look up clusters by ID:

$ zkubectl configure --cluster-registry=https://cluster-registry.example.org
$ zkubectl login my-cluster-id

The Cluster Registry needs to provide the following HTTP API for this to work:

$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(zign tok)" https://cluster-registry.example.org/kubernetes-clusters/my-cluster-id
{
    "api_server_url": "https://my-api-server.example.org"
}

There is an additional convenience command to open the Kubernetes Dashboard web UI in the browser:

$ zkubectl dashboard
Waiting for local kubectl proxy.. . . . . . . . . . .Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001 OK

Opening http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-dashboard/proxy ..

Unit Tests

Run unit tests with Tox:

$ sudo pip3 install tox
$ tox

Local Changes

It’s recommended to have a virtualenv for the project. The project uses Black for code formatting, please configure your editor to use it.

Go to the project dir and install dependencies

$ cd <project-path>
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install --editable .

Now the code change will just be reflected in the zkubectl binary

$ zkubectl <wahatever>
