• kubectx/kubens: easily switch between k8 contexts (clusters) or namespaces in terminal
• k9s: terminal CLI to list and interact with cluster resources in a friendly manner
• Lens: GUI app to interact with cluster (requires account)
• kubectl-view-secret: kubectl plugin to view decoded secret data
• kind: setup local kubernetes cluster on your workstation
• kubent: terminal CLI to check current cluster compatibility with a target version (for k8 migration)
