Powershell Module for Kubernetes

Powershell module for Kubernetes kubectl command line tool. This module calls kubectl as json output and converts Powershell objects from the json response. This is a work in progress module but basic functionality works.

Prerequisites

• kubectl command line tool
• authenticated kubernetes cluster
  • GKE example: gcloud container clusters get-credentials <clusterName> --zone <zone> --project <projectId>

Functions

• Enter-KubernetesPod
• Remove-KubernetesPod
• Get-KubernetesPod
• Get-KubernetesNamespace
• ConvertFrom-Base64
• ConvertTo-Base64
• Get-KubernetesSecret
• Get-KubernetesPodPublicIP
• Get-KubernetesNode
• Get-KubernetesPodResource
• Get-KubernetesNodeResource
• Get-KubernetesEvictedPod
• Clear-KubernetesEvictedPod

Dynamic function parameters

Many of these functions has dynamic ValidateSet for parameters based on the Kubernetes cluster resource content (pods). For example in Enter-KubernetesPod -Namespace <string> -PodName <string> you can just tab for the PodName argument and the function dynamically gets all pods from that namespace.

Installation

kubectl

Install kubectl and authenticate to your Kubernetes cluster
