⁠Swakkd

Swakkd is a continuous deployment tool-set and stands for Swiss Army Knife for Kubernetes Deployments.

 

Swakkd focuses container-based deployment pipelines and minimizes the need to switch between different images for each job in a pipeline by combining the most commonly used and useful pipeline tools into a single standalone Alpine Linux-based container image of moderate size.

The version label of this image follows the official major.minor version number of kubectl. All further tool versions are the latest released tool versions at the time of building this image.

Swakkd can be used in deployment pipelines referencing a Swakkd image on dockerhub⁠.
