A simple, extensible Python client library for Kubernetes that feels familiar for folks who already know how to use kubectl.

• API inspired by kubectl to reduce developer learning curve.
• Sensible defaults to reduce boiler plate.
• No swagger generated code, human readable code only.
• Also has an asynchronous API that can be used with asyncio and trio.
• Client caching to reduce passing API objects around.
• Batteries included by providing useful utilities and methods inspired by kubectl.

$ pip install kr8s

import kr8s

pods = kr8s.get("pods")

See the Client API docs for more examples.

from kr8s.objects import Pod

pod = Pod({
        "apiVersion": "v1",
        "kind": "Pod",
        "metadata": {
            "name": "my-pod",
        },
        "spec": {
            "containers": [{"name": "pause", "image": "gcr.io/google_containers/pause",}]
        },
    })

pod.create()
