NOTE

Exploring Lightweight Debugging Tools for Kubernetes

CoolKits provides a commercial product focused on Kubernetes debugging. NetShoot is a renowned, lightweight debug image from GitHub, which originated pre-Kubernetes during its creator's time at Docker. It is favored for its efficiency, avoiding the downsides of heavy debug images that can exceed 10 gigabytes, typically caused by incorporating extensive language and framework debuggers. Minimal container images allow for on-demand retrieval of necessary components, streamlining the debugging process. However, it is crucial to note that these debugging utilities do not automatically diagnose application issues; they are designed for manual investigation rather than automated problem-solving. Advanced automated debugging solutions likely lie within commercial products, which are expected to grow in number due to the rise of large language models (LLMs).
