Hey everyone! I'm thinking about moving from my current kubectl setup to Bitnami's Secure Kubectl, but I really want to get some honest opinions before I make the switch. What do you all think? Have you had any experiences with this image that you can share?

I’d steer clear of Bitnami right now. They’ve made some pretty unfriendly changes lately after being acquired by Broadcom. It's best to look for alternatives!
A lot of people find creating a custom image for kubectl super easy. You don’t really need to rely on Bitnami for this. Just use a simple Dockerfile with a few lines of code to package it up. There are plenty of free alternatives out there on Docker Hub too!
I haven't used it personally, but I’ve heard Rancher's kubectl is a good free option.
If you're considering Bitnami just for convenience, there's really no need to use them. You can find many other stable and maintained images that do the same job without the hassle.
Yeah, everything they do lately feels like a cash grab. They’ve been restricting access to their resources.
Seriously, when do they ever make user-friendly decisions?
