Kele (/kě lè/, or /kə-ˈlə/) ("Kubernetes Enablement Layer for Emacs") is a Kubernetes cluster management package. It empowers you to perform operations as coarse or fine-grained as you need, fast, and get back to your work.

Kele comes with "batteries included." It contains several integrations with noteworthy packages, e.g. [[https://github.com/oantolin/embark][Embark]], that you can take advantage of in your own configs.

For full documentation, please visit [[https://jonathanj.in/kele.el][jonathanj.in/kele.el]].

/Kele is not an official Kubernetes project./
