k8s-debug

Are there no minimal Kubernetes debug pods?

Or am I just not looking in the right places? Anyway I’ve created my own.

Obviously I stumbled into netshoot, network-multitool(Outdated!) which now is from WBITT and also doks-debug from Digital Ocean.

But just look at the size of those things. I mean, network is fast and all but I don’t like bloat just because.

Plus, it created an opportunity for me to create one tailored to my needs and made me mess with scheduled Github Actions Workflows, which I didn’t even knew existed.
