Frequently asked questions
- Is it safe to use Aptakube?
- Yes. Aptakube connects directly to your cluster's API server from your machine. Your cluster data, logs and connection settings will never leave your machine. Learn more about our security practices.
- What Kubernetes versions are supported?
- Aptakube follows the EKS, AKS , and GKE release calendar, which generally means the last 5 Kubernetes versions are supported. Older releases of Aptakube may still support older Kubernetes versions.
- Is this another Electron app?
- Nope! Aptakube is built with Tauri, a smaller, faster, and more secure alternative. Look at how small the downloaded binaries are!
- Do I need to install something on my cluster?
- No. Aptakube does not require any custom server-side component. It's a Kubernetes GUI client that runs on your machine and connects directly to your cluster's API Server, just like kubectl.
- How does it compare to kubectl?
Aptakube is a Kubernetes GUI client that runs on your desktop, while kubectl is a CLI. They have similar functionality, but Aptakube is easier to use and more intuitive. Aptakube can also connect to multiple clusters simultaneously, reducing the time it takes for you to get stuff done.
Everyone has their own preferences, but in general we recommend kubectl for automation and scripting, while Aptakube is best suited for general day-to-day use, inspection and troubleshooting.
- There is a missing feature I need, can you implement it?
- We use GitHub to track features and releases. You can submit new requests or upvote existing ones by using reactions and comments.
