K9s vs Weave: What are the differences?
Developers describe K9s as "🐶 Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style". K9s provides a curses based terminal UI to interact with your Kubernetes clusters. The aim of this project is to make it easier to navigate, observe and manage your applications in the wild. K9s continually watches Kubernetes for changes and offers subsequent commands to interact with observed resources. On the other hand, Weave is detailed as "Weave creates a virtual network that connects Docker containers deployed across multiple hosts". Weave can traverse firewalls and operate in partially connected networks. Traffic can be encrypted, allowing hosts to be connected across an untrusted network. With weave you can easily construct applications consisting of multiple containers, running anywhere.
K9s and Weave can be primarily classified as "Container" tools.
K9s and Weave are both open source tools. Weave with 5.57K GitHub stars and 517 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than K9s with 2.57K GitHub stars and 131 GitHub forks.
