k8sgpt

What it does

Scans Kubernetes clusters, triages what is actually wrong and describes it in ordinary language, with SRE experience encoded into the analyzers so the relevant signal gets pulled out of the noise before a model ever sees it. Works with OpenAI, Azure, Cohere, Bedrock, Gemini or local models — the last option matters, because scanning ships cluster configuration and internal names to whichever provider you pick. Diagnoses are candidates; the change to production is still yours to make. Apache-2.0.

It needs the command line. If you are not comfortable typing commands, expect to get stuck during setup.

Does k8sgpt work on a phone?

Can I use k8sgpt commercially?

The licence is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
