The officially supported Kubernetes client library for .NET, published as the KubernetesClient NuGet package. It provides typed access to the Kubernetes API, including kubeconfig and in-cluster authentication, CRUD operations on resources, and watch support.

Use cases

• manage kubernetes resources from a c# application
• list pods and namespaces in a cluster using dotnet
• create and delete kubernetes objects programmatically
• authenticate to a cluster from inside a pod with a service account
• build a custom kubernetes controller or operator in .net
• load kubeconfig files to connect to a cluster

When to choose

• you are building .NET applications or tools that need to interact with the Kubernetes API
• you want an officially supported client with typed models for Kubernetes resources
• you need both kubeconfig-based and in-cluster authentication in C#

When to avoid

• you are not working in the .NET ecosystem
• you only need to run kubectl commands and don't need programmatic API access
• you require an authentication method listed in the project's known issues
