kop — A Modern Kubernetes Terminal UI Built with Python

#kubernetes #python #tui #opensource

I spend most of my day managing Kubernetes clusters from the terminal.
Like many engineers, I rely heavily on:

kubectl
SSH
log streaming
pod debugging
cluster troubleshooting

Over time, I realized I wanted something that felt more interactive and efficient than constantly switching between terminal commands and browser dashboards.

So I started building kop.

What is kop?

kop is a modern terminal UI for Kubernetes built with Python.
It provides an interactive Kubernetes experience directly inside the terminal while remaining lightweight, keyboard-driven, and SSH-friendly.
