What tools or methods have you used for managing and orchestrating containers with Kubernetes?

The following tools and methods are commonly used for container management and orchestration with Kubernetes:

• kubectl — the primary CLI tool for interacting with the Kubernetes cluster: creating, updating, deleting resources.
• Helm — a package manager for Kubernetes that simplifies the installation and updating of applications through charts.
• Kustomize — a tool for managing Kubernetes configurations with the ability to overlay patches.
• CI/CD integrations — automating deployment with Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, etc.
• Monitoring and logging — Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack for tracking container status.

YAML manifests are often used in practice to describe Deployment, Service, ConfigMap, and other resources, as well as declarative infrastructure management practices.
