kubectl free

# Show pod resource usage of Kubernetes nodes (all namespaces).
kubectl free --all-namespaces

# Show pod resource usage of Kubernetes nodes with number of pods and containers.
kubectl free --pod

# Using label selector.
kubectl free -l key=value

# Print raw(bytes) usage.
kubectl free --bytes --without-unit

# Using binary prefix unit (GiB, MiB, etc)
kubectl free -g -B

# List resources of containers in pods on nodes.
kubectl free --list

# List resources of containers in pods on nodes with image information.
kubectl free --list --list-image

# Print container even if that has no resources/limits.
kubectl free --list --list-all

Notice

This plugin shows just sum of requested(limited) resources, not a real usage.
I recommend to use kubectl free with kubectl top.

kubectl free v0.2.0 supports printing real usages from metrics server in a target cluster.
You can disable printing usage with --no-metrics option.
