Have you ever heard about kubectl plugin?

A plugin is a standalone executable file, whose name begins with kubectl-. To install a plugin, move its executable file to anywhere on your PATH.

Easy, right?

Since today, I was merely one of the thousands of kubectl users all around the globe.

I daily use a lot of kubectl plugins, see some of them in the following awesome list.

But the passive era has ended, and I decided to start my own plugin "k8s-swiss-knife".
Its aim is to have an all-in-one-tool to easily work with complex Kubernetes clusters.
I mean for example:

• discover security issues
• optimize resource configuration
• any custom checks
• and so on..

The very first feature is about security, and it discovers with one command which pod(s) are running with root user.

kubectl swissknife root_less_checker [-n <namespace>]

Below the official Github repository with easy installation guide.
