Did you know you can find and install those plugins using <a href="https://krew.dev">krew</a>, a plugin manager for kubectl? krew was built by <a href="https://twitter.com/lukburchard">Luk Burchard</a>, a student at TUBerlin, as an intern project. He was supervised by <a href="https://twitter.com/ahmetb">Ahmet Alp Balkan</a> at Google Cloud, and they both join <a href="https://kubernetespodcast.com/about">Craig and Adam</a> to discuss it.</p> <p>Do you have something cool to share?
