YAML editor

Edit Kubernetes resources as YAML inside VS Code webviews and apply changes back to the cluster.

Open YAML for a resource

1. Select a resource in the Kube9 cluster tree.
2. Open the resource detail webview.
3. Switch to the YAML tab (or use View YAML / Edit YAML from context menus where offered).

Capabilities

• Syntax-highlighted YAML aligned with VS Code theme tokens
• Apply saves back to the cluster using your kubeconfig credentials
• Launch Workload — Paste or write arbitrary manifests and apply from the Command Palette
• Dry-run validation where the workflow supports it
• Quick templates for common kinds (Deployment, Service, Pod, ConfigMap, and others per release)

View YAML output may omit managedFields for readability.

Tips

• Confirm the active kubectl context before applying changes.
• Use describe/form tabs when you only need a few fields; use YAML for bulk edits or less common spec paths.

Privacy

Manifest content and API calls stay local to your machine and cluster. YAML is not uploaded to Alto9.
