Generate an html page with an interlinked explanation of kubernetes objects

Command kubectl api-resources gives you a table of kubernetes entities/api resources and kubectl explain produces an explanation of a particular entity. The following program produces an html table that displays the output of kubectl api-resources as an html table, where each table row is linked to a more detailed description produced by kubectl explain.

The program runs kubectl commands; parses the table produced by kubectl api-resources, etc. etc.

This is a simple exercise that helped the author to pick up some golang programming skills.

Running the program

1. need to do oc login as a prerequisite
2. run go run main.go on completion it will write the output file out.html

Example output

Thanks

Thanks to Yaacov Zamir for insisting on a nice css for the reprt.

Trivia

The following command enters an infinite loop on my local minishift installation

kubectl explain --recursive=true customresourcedefinitions
