In this article I will try to summarize my favorite tools for Kubernetes with special emphasis on the newest and lesser known tools which I think will become very popular. This is just my personal list based on my experience but, in order to avoid biases, I will try to also mention alternatives to each tool so you can compare and decide based on your needs.

One common task is to build Docker images, this is usually tedious in Kubernetes since the build process actually runs on a container itself and you need to use workarounds to use the Docker engine of the host.

To do this in Kubernetes, you can use Argo Rollouts which offers Canary releases and much more.

You can create network policies and rules per name space but this is a tedious process that it is difficult to scale.
