Kunobi is a Kubernetes management platform for viewing and controlling deployments across clusters and GitOps sources. It runs locally on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and connects directly to clusters over the user's network. Kunobi says kubeconfig and cluster credentials stay on the device, and that it does not proxy or store cluster traffic. Its interface brings Git and cluster resources together, with native Flux and Argo CD support and views for Helm releases and configuration changes. Kunobi advertises dedicated views for more than 105 resources, including Kubernetes core, Flux, Argo CD, cert-manager, and Prometheus. Free supports up to three clusters and can connect external AI tools through an MCP server. Pro adds unlimited clusters, cross-cluster log tailing, PromQL queries, metrics exploration, integrations with EKS, GKE, and AKS, and AI cluster actions with an approval firewall. Enterprise adds SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, onboarding, unified billing, and usage analytics. Free costs 0.00 USD per free; Pro is listed at 912.00 USD per month with limited-time launch pricing.
