Using kubectl to Get Helm Release Information

2 min read

While Helm provides the convenient helm ls -A command to list all releases across namespaces, there are situations where helm CLI might not be available. We can still retrieve similar information out of the helm metadata stored as Kubernetes secrets.

$ helm ls -A

kubectl: Finding the OpenShift Console URL

1 min read

When working on an OpenShift cluster, it’s common to need the Web Console URL, especially when setting up a new environment or giving access to other users.

Rather than navigating through RedHat portal or guessing the domain, you can use kubectl to directly query the route object and retrieve the console's public URL.
