Rust has a kubernetes client crate which allows us to write code against Kubernetes via the client (i.e. instead of calling out to kubectl itself).<\/p>\n
Create yourself a binary Rust application with the following dependencies<\/p>\n
\r\n[dependencies]\r\nk8s-openapi = { version = "0.26.0", default-features = false, features = ["v1_32"] }\r\nkube = { version = "2.0.1", features = ["runtime", "client"] }\r\ntokio = { version = "1.30", features = ["full"] }\r\nanyhow = "1.0"\r\n<\/pre>\nNote: Check the k8s-openapi<\/em> features match you installed kubernetes, run kubectl version<\/em> to check your server version and use this.<\/p>\nThis is very much a starter post, so I’m going to just change main.rs to simply instantiate a client and get all pods running across all namespaces<\/p>\n
\r\nuse kube::{Api, Client};\r\nuse k8s_openapi::api::core::v1::Pod;\r\nuse kube::runtime::reflector::Lookup;\r\n\r\n#[tokio::main]\r\nasync fn main() -> anyhow::Result<()> {\r\n\r\n let client = Client::try_default().await?;\r\n let pods: Api<Pod> = Api::all(client);\r\n\r\n let pod_list = pods.list(&Default::default()).await?;\r\n\r\n for p in pod_list {\r\n println!("Pod name: {:?}", p.name().expect("Pod name missing"));\r\n }\r\n\r\n Ok(())\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\nIf you want to use the default<\/em> namespace then change the line <\/p>\n\r\nlet pods: Api<Pod> = Api::all(client);\r\n<\/pre>\nto <\/p>\n
\r\nlet pods: Api<Pod> = Api::default_namespaced(client);\r\n<\/pre>\nor if you want to get pods from a specific namespace use<\/p>\n
\r\nlet pods: Api<Pod> = Api::namespaced(client, "mynamespace");\r\n<\/pre>\n
