OpenEng Kubernetes

Beta

A full Kubernetes console, one pane of glass.

Connect every cluster in your kubeconfig — plus cloud clusters through a connector — and work them like a native IDE: browse and edit any resource, stream logs, exec into pods, port-forward, map the topology, and read live metrics. No kubectl required.

Install the engine

Then open the app & sign in

k8s.openeng.app

The app gives you a one-time command to start the engine — copy it, run it, and the page connects automatically.

Kubernetes features

Everything you reach for, built in.

Every cluster, one switch

Reads your kubeconfig, lists every context, and connects on demand — paste in extra kubeconfigs and switch context across the whole console instantly.

Resource browser + YAML editor

Any kind, including CRDs, via API discovery. Edit with server-side apply so your changes never clobber a controller. Live table updates via watches.

Logs & in-pod shells

Tail and search container logs in real time, or drop into a fully interactive shell inside any pod — multi-container aware.

Port-forward

Forward a local port straight to a pod from its Actions tab — right next to scale, restart rollout, and delete.

Events, metrics & nodes

A live event feed, CPU/memory metrics as sparklines, and a node view with cordon, drain, and uncordon.

Cluster overview

A live dashboard for the selected cluster: headline stat cards, CPU and memory charts, workload health, node capacity, namespace load, top consumers, recent rollouts, and a streaming event feed.

Topology graph

An auto-laid-out map of the cluster — each Service wired to the workloads it fronts, and each workload to its pods.

Cloud clusters, read-only by default

Attach a cloud cluster through an HTTPS connector with a URL and API key. It stays read-only — every mutating control disabled — until you add a write key.

Pod env & files

Read a pod’s runtime or declared environment variables and browse its container filesystem, right in the resource drawer.

Runs on your machine, not our servers.

Kubernetes is a thin browser client of a local engine you run yourself. Your clusters and kubeconfig stay on your hardware: the engine listens only on 127.0.0.1, and the page seals every frame of its session with the engine.

  • Your work stays on your machine
  • The page’s session sealed per frame
  • Bring your own credentials

One platform, two pillars

The engineering apps are one half of OpenEng. The other is OpenEng AI, an agentic ecosystem for open-weight model execution: it downloads, orchestrates, and runs open-weight AI models on your own machine.
