k8sAI

k8sAI is a RAG-enabled GPT that uses a vector store with the embeddings of the Kubernetes documentation. It can answer general questions about Kubernetes, explain output of provided kubectl commands, and suggested commands for you to then easily execute. Given an issue, it can also use kubectl commands to understand the issue and suggest a fix.

k8sAI has a few tools at its disposal that it can call to answer your questions and fix issues:

• Execute_Kubectl_CMD_Tool - k8sAI can use this to execute kubectl read commands to gather more information about your cluster
• Suggest_Kubectl_CMD_Tool - k8sAI uses this to suggest a kubectl command to you that you can then edit and execute
• k8s_search - This tool is used by k8sAI to search k8s documentation to provide informed solutions

Note:

This tool sends data to OpenAI's servers. Please review the OpenAI API terms of use before using this tool. This tool also executes kubectl commands. While they should be read-only commands, unintended consequences are possible. Use the --disable-execution command if you want to be extra-safe.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install k8sAI.

pip install k8sAI

Configuration

Before using k8sAI, ensure your OpenAI API key is set as an environment variable (OPENAI_API_KEY).
