Kubeterm is a powerful GUI client for managing Kubernetes resources, with built-in AI capabilities for cluster-aware assistance. It supports major public cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, DigitalOcean, and others, making Kubernetes management faster, smarter, and easier. Secure Cluster Access Connect to your clusters using public cloud accounts, OIDC authentication, or other access credentials. Import configurations seamlessly, manage clusters securely, and keep credentials stored locally on your device for greater privacy. AI-Powered Cluster Assistance Use built-in AI to get cluster-aware guidance, understand resources in context, and move through everyday Kubernetes workflows more efficiently. AI assistance helps you inspect cluster state faster and take action with better context. Resource Insights View and explore detailed Kubernetes resource information, similar to kubectl, in a more accessible GUI. Navigate quickly between related resources to understand dependencies and investigate issues efficiently. Resource Operations Perform a wide range of operations, including creating, updating, and deleting resources, scaling workloads, restarting workloads, draining or cordoning nodes, and pausing or resuming cron jobs. Streamlined Troubleshooting Troubleshoot cluster resources more effectively with log viewing and downloading, pod shell access, container attach support, and debugging containers for deeper investigation of pods and nodes. Robust Helm, Argo CD & Flux CD Support Manage Helm releases and GitOps workflows with full control. List Helm releases and their statuses, then install, upgrade, roll back, or uninstall with confidence. Monitor and manage Argo CD applications and Flux CD resources directly from your device. Accessibility Features Customize the experience with dark mode, adjustable font sizes, and other accessibility options for more comfortable day-to-day use. We value your feedback!

Read full description

Ankra is the companion app for the Ankra Kubernetes platform. Manage your clusters, stacks, and add-ons from your iPhone or iPad with native iOS conveniences that the web alone cannot offer. Built for platform engineers and SREs who need cluster health at a glance: • Face ID / Touch ID gate on every launch and after 5 minutes in the background, with device-passcode fallback. • Offline-aware with an active connection probe - the app keeps showing the last view you had and offers a one-tap Reconnect when the network comes back. • ankra:// deep links to jump straight to any cluster, add-on, or stack from links anywhere on your phone. • Native downloads - kubeconfigs, YAML manifests, and platform exports hand off to the iOS Files / Share sheet. • Branded splash and offline screens that match the Ankra design system. • Camera and photo-library integration for attaching screenshots to support tickets. • Optimised WebView - pull-to-refresh, swipe-to-go-back, persistent cookies so you stay logged in between sessions.
