About k8s-debug

Offers quick access to logs, pod status, service health, and ingress configuration diagnostics for K3s clusters running on AWS EC2.

Kubernetes debugging commands and troubleshooting for the K3s cluster

When not to use it

  • →The cluster is not K3s on AWS EC2
  • →The issue is unrelated to Kubernetes debugging
  • →The task requires modifying application code instead of diagnosing infrastructure

Limitations

  • →It is specific to K3s clusters on AWS
  • →It focuses on debugging commands and troubleshooting guides
  • →It covers specific components like NGINX Ingress Controller and cert-manager

How it compares

This skill offers specific `kubectl` commands and troubleshooting steps tailored for a K3s cluster on AWS, providing direct solutions rather than general Kubernetes advice.
