Can I manage Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) with the Python client?

Yes, the skill provides specific patterns for using the `CustomObjectsApi` to perform CRUD operations on any custom resource registered in your cluster.

Does this skill work with managed services like EKS or GKE?

Yes, it supports authentication for major cloud providers, though specific platforms like EKS may require additional steps to handle short-lived token refreshing.

How can I monitor cluster changes in real-time?

You can use the `watch.Watch()` utility to stream events for specific resources, allowing your Python code to react immediately to ADDED, MODIFIED, or DELETED events.

How do I authenticate with a Kubernetes cluster using this skill?

The skill supports multiple methods: use `config.load_kube_config()` for local development with your kubeconfig file, or `config.load_incluster_config()` for applications running inside a pod using a ServiceAccount.

What is the difference between Patch and Replace operations?

A Patch performs a partial update on a resource (preferred for efficiency), while Replace performs a full update and requires a matching resource version to prevent overwriting concurrent changes.

Kubernetes Python Client

Name: Kubernetes Python Client
Author: adaptationio

byadaptationio

클라우드 인프라

Enables programmatic Kubernetes cluster management and automation using the official Python client library.

소개

The Kubernetes Python Client skill provides Claude with the specialized knowledge to automate cluster operations, manage resources like Pods and Deployments, and build custom controllers. It covers essential implementation patterns including multi-context authentication, resource-specific API clients, and idempotent 'create or update' logic. This skill is indispensable for developers building DevOps tooling, orchestrating complex cloud-native workflows, or integrating Kubernetes management directly into Python-based applications.
