Kite
A lightweight, open-source Kubernetes workspace for multi-cluster operations, observability and access control, with an AI assistant for troubleshooting that respects the user's own RBAC permissions.
Kite is a lightweight, open-source Kubernetes workspace covering multi-cluster operations, observability, access control and AI-assisted troubleshooting from one interface. It monitors CPU, memory and network usage through per-cluster Prometheus integrations, streams and filters pod logs alongside related events and conditions, manages core Kubernetes resources, custom resource definitions and Helm releases across multiple clusters, edits live YAML, scales or restarts workloads, and provides browser-based pod, node and kubectl terminals with global resource search and a built-in kube-proxy.
Access is governed through OAuth, LDAP, local accounts, multi-factor authentication and passkey login, with role-based access control, per-cluster permissions and audit logs for resource changes. Its built-in AI assistant can inspect resources, logs and Prometheus metrics, and any write operation it proposes must be reviewed and confirmed before it executes, always within the current user's own RBAC permissions.
It installs through a Helm chart, a Docker container, or a standalone Kubernetes manifest, and is written in TypeScript under the Apache 2.0 license.
