KubeTracer

KubeTracer is a tool designed to establish and visualize the lineage between all Kubernetes components, such as ConfigMap, Pod, Service, Secret, CRD, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, and more. It helps users understand the relationships and dependencies within their Kubernetes clusters, making it easier to troubleshoot, audit, and optimize resource usage.

• Discover and map relationships between Kubernetes resources
• Visualize dependencies and lineage across the cluster
• Support for core and custom resources (CRDs)
• Useful for debugging, auditing, and compliance
