KSail VSCode Extension

A VSCode extension for managing local Kubernetes clusters with KSail. Integrates with the VS Code Kubernetes extension to surface KSail clusters in the Cloud Explorer and Cluster Explorer.

Features

• Cluster Explorer Contributor: KSail-managed kubeconfig contexts are annotated with (KSail) and a status label in the Kubernetes extension's Cluster Explorer
• Cluster Provider Wizard: HTML-based "Create Cluster" wizard integrated into the Kubernetes extension; enum values fetched live from the KSail MCP schema
• Interactive Wizards: Step-by-step configuration for init and create operations
• Command Palette: Full access to cluster lifecycle operations (init, create, update, start, stop, switch, backup, restore, delete, connect)
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Quick access to common operations
