I have a number of Kubernetes clusters in AWS and I was looking for a tool that was just a bit “faster” that `kubectl` I looked at Lens and k9s and found that k9s was just the tool I was looking for, light weight and didn’t require any extra components. The biggest drawback that I got from Lens was the reliance on prometheus or you get a lot of wasted space.
