Deployment & DevOps

Monitors and troubleshoots Kubernetes deployments managed through Octopus Deploy by providing real-time pod status and resource health data.

About

The Octopus Kubernetes Operations skill allows developers to query and manage Kubernetes clusters directly through their Octopus Deploy instance within Claude Code. It provides deep visibility into live pod health, container statuses, and deployment rollouts, making it an essential tool for troubleshooting failing services or validating successful infrastructure changes. By bridging the gap between the deployment server and the live cluster, it streamlines the DevOps workflow and reduces the need to switch between multiple CLI tools during incident response.

Key Features

Access to pod events and error logs for rapid debugging
Direct integration with Octopus Deploy for live status updates
Detailed troubleshooting for container restarts and crashes
3 GitHub stars
Real-time Kubernetes pod and resource health monitoring
Visibility into deployment rollouts and replica readiness

Use Cases

Validating the success and health of new Kubernetes deployment rollouts
Monitoring resource availability and container status during infrastructure scaling
Troubleshooting pod failures and CrashLoopBackOff states in production namespaces
