Introduction
This guide introduces KRS, a powerful CLI tool designed to simplify Kubernetes cluster management. KRS offers a range of functionalities, including health checks, resource optimization, and vulnerability detection. To enhance its capabilities, we have integrated Local AI, a powerful tool that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) for in-depth analysis of your cluster.
Local AI: Your Smart Kubernetes Assistant
Local AI is a locally-run AI model that acts as your on-premises assistant for Kubernetes cluster management. Unlike cloud-based AI solutions like OpenAI, Local AI runs directly on your machine, providing several advantages:
- Privacy: Local AI keeps your cluster data private, eliminating concerns about sensitive information leaving your infrastructure.
- Security: By running locally, Local AI is not susceptible to potential security risks associated with cloud-based solutions.
- Customization: You have complete control over the model and its training data, allowing you to tailor it to your specific needs and environment.
- Performance: Local AI offers faster response times compared to cloud-based solutions due to reduced latency.
Why Local AI Matters for KRS
By integrating Local AI with KRS, you gain a comprehensive and insightful solution for managing your Kubernetes cluster. Local AI empowers KRS to analyze in-depth:
- Cluster health: Local AI can identify potential issues like resource bottlenecks, configuration errors, and security vulnerabilities.
- Namespace health: It can pinpoint problems specific to individual namespaces, ensuring optimal resource allocation and application performance.
- Pod logs and events: Local AI can analyze logs and events from pods, identifying errors and providing context for troubleshooting./li>
This enhanced functionality streamlines troubleshooting processes and empowers you to make informed decisions regarding your cluster’s well-being.

Getting Started with KRS and Local AI
Prerequisites
- Running Kubernetes Cluster
1. Setup a Kubernetes Cluster (e.g Kind Cluster)
go install sigs.k8s.io/kind@v0.23.0 && kind create cluster 2. Setup KRS using these commands:
git clone https://github.com/kubetoolsca/krs.git
cd krs
pip install .
krs init
krs scan
3. Check the pod and namespace status in your Kubernetes cluster, including errors.
krs health
Starting interactive terminal...
Choose the model provider for healthcheck:
[1] OpenAI
[2] Huggingface
[3] Local AI

Everything looks good! The log entries are showing a few warnings and errors, but they are not alarming.
- The first error is a warning: "WARNING: no cloud provider provided, services of type LoadBalancer will fail." This means that the Kubernetes cluster does not have a cloud provider specified, and therefore cannot create LoadBalancers. This warning should be taken into consideration when deploying LoadBalancers as they cannot be created without a cloud provider.
- The second error is a failure to start the cloud node lifecycle controller. This error is due to the fact that no cloud provider is specified. Similarly, the cloud-node-lifecycle-controller cannot be started without a cloud provider.
- The third error is regarding the informer. The resyncCheckPeriod is smaller than the resyncPeriod, which means that the informer has already started. Changing the resyncPeriod to 16h0m39.124394393s will solve this issue.
To resolve the issues, you would need to either specify a cloud provider or modify the informer values.
If you have specified a cloud provider, you can modify the values to be in sync with the selected cloud provider. If you have not specified a cloud provider, you can add one by following the instructions in the Kubernetes documentation. As for the informer, changing the resyncPeriod value to 16h0m39.124394393s should solve the issue.

Conclusion
By incorporating Local AI with KRS, you gain a powerful and secure solution for managing your Kubernetes cluster. Local AI’s on-premises nature provides privacy, security, and customization, while its analytical capabilities empower KRS to deliver valuable insights and recommendations for a healthy and efficient Kubernetes environment.
