Admiral

Admiral is an in-memory service evolved out of a need for extra observability of AWS EKS Fargate. Lack of control & vision of the kubelet necessitates more consistent testing and reporting.

Our ultimate goal is providing a simple interface and pattern for automating routine Kubernetes operations.

Available features

• Observe all kinds of Kubernetes Events
• Send messages to a webhook
• Stream logs from pods to a logstore (currently supports Grafana Loki)

Building

make does the following:

make tidy  # go mod tidy
make fmt   # go fmt
make test  # go test
make build # go build

make       # all of the above

Running

Admiral should be invoked with the single command admiral. It has 2 external dependencies for success:

1. It needs access to a kubeconfig. Admiral will check the following locations for a kubeconfig:
   1. In-cluster (native Kubernetes RBAC if it is a pod)
   2. $HOME/.kube/config
2. It needs a configuration file at $HOME/.admiral.yaml
