JET Pilot

Introduction

JET Pilot is an open-source K8s IDE. It was created out of frustration, as all "good-looking" K8s IDEs went commercial. Power-users nowaday resort to tools like k9s, which works great, but heavily relies on keyboard input. JET Pilot tries to overcome these usability challenges.
