kubectl作为我们主要的操作K8S的工具，其具备非常丰富的功能，但是如果不经过打磨，使用起来还是存在诸多不便，今天我们来看看如何将我们的kubectl打磨的更加易用。

一、命令自动补全

kubectl中提供非常多的命令，如果每一次都要手动一个字符一个字符的敲未免太累了，那么如何配置自动补全呢？这里以ubuntu系统为例：

1、安装auto-completion工具

$ sudo apt update
Hit:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Hit:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease
Hit:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease
Hit:4 https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Hit:5 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease

$ sudo apt install bash-completion
Reading package lists… Done

Reading state information… Done
bash-completion is already the newest version (1:2.8-1ubuntu1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 144 not upgraded.

PS：如果是centos系统，则使用yum install bash-completion -y命令安装

2、配置自动补全

Bash：

source <(kubectl completion bash) echo "source <(kubectl completion bash)" >> ~/.bashrc

Zsh：

source <(kubectl completion zsh) echo "[[ $commands[kubectl] ]] && source <(kubectl completion zsh)" >> ~/.zshrc

配置后就可以通过Tab键自动补全命令啦！

二、配置kubectl别名

我们可以通过设置别名简化kubectl命令，编辑.bashrc文件，添加如下内容：

alias sudo='sudo '
alias k='kubectl'
alias ka='kubectl apply --recursive -f'
alias kex='kubectl exec -i -t'
alias klo='kubectl logs -f'
alias kg='kubectl get'
alias kd='kubectl describe'

PS：alias sudo是为了解决sudo下别名不可用问题

保存后记得执行 source ~/.bashrc哈，接着我们体验下：

$ sudo ka webapp_pod.yaml
pod/webapp created
$ sudo kg pods

真的是飞一般的感觉！！！

三、Context和Namespace切换

我们在公司的容器平台上使用kubectl时，经常需要切换context和namespace，导致命令非常繁琐，那有没有简便的方式呢？—— kubectx

kubectx安装

$ sudo git clone https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx /opt/kubectx
Cloning into '/opt/kubectx'…
remote: Enumerating objects: 1457, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (172/172), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (115/115), done.
remote: Total 1457 (delta 85), reused 97 (delta 51), pack-reused 1285
Receiving objects: 100% (1457/1457), 905.30 KiB | 69.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (817/817), done.
$ sudo ln -s /opt/kubectx/kubens /usr/local/bin/kubectl-ns
$ sudo ln -s /opt/kubectx/kubectx /usr/local/bin/kubectl-ctx

我们来看一下效果：

$ sudo k ctx
minikube
$ sudo k ctx minikube
Switched to context "minikube".
$ sudo k ns
default
kube-node-lease
kube-public
kube-system
kubernetes-dashboard
$ sudo k ns kube-public
Context "minikube" modified.
Active namespace is "kube-public".
$ sudo k ns default
Context "minikube" modified.
Active namespace is "default".

四、跟踪查看多个Pod的日志

我们一般使用kubectl logs命令查看Pod日志，但是它不能通过-f参数同时跟踪查看多个Pod日志，这就不方便了，毕竟实际生产环境中每个服务都会有多个Pod，这时我们可以使用stern这个工具，它具备如下能力：

• 允许使用正则表达式来选择需要查看的PodName

• 为不同 Pod 的日志展示不同的颜色

• 跟踪日志过程中假如有符合规则的新 Pod 被创建, 那么会自动添加到输出中

首先安装stern（下载stern时可能较慢可以多试几次）：

wget https://github.com/wercker/stern/releases/download/1.11.0/stern_linux_amd64
sudo mv stern_linux_amd64 /usr/local/bin/kubectl-tail
sudo chomd +x /usr/local/bin/kubectl-tail

安装完毕后让我一起感受一下stern的魅力吧，我的Pod里面有两个容器：webapp和busybox，如果使用kubectl logs 还得指定具体的容器，而使用stern就没有这样的限制。

$ sudo k tail .
