k9s-inspect-a-deployment

1. If “Context:” in the top left needs to change, search :context, select the correct one and hit enter
2. Search :deployment (or just :deploy), select the one you want and hit enter
3. Select a pod, then press l to tail its container logs
4. Hit esc anytime to go back/up a level

To inspect a pod:

1. d to describe the pod
2. y to view the pod’s YAML config
3. l to view the pod’s container logs
4. s to shell into the pod (ctrl-d to exit)

Benefits over Argo:

• Refreshes every 2 seconds
• Can shell into container quickly from same UI if necessary to answer questions
• Vim motions and keyboard quickness, baby

TODO in a separate note:

• How to shell into a container to run inspection commands
• ? on any resource shows the applicable keymaps
