+# Kubernetes tricks
+
+A collection of nice to haves while managing applications in kubernetes.
+
+## Kubectl proxy
+
+Running `kubectl proxy` will open a tunnel to the selected cluster. You can then access the webapi on the port that was displayed.
+
+Using that webapi you can browse the resources and even access the application hosted within your cluster.
+
+### Explore a namespace
+Enter the following address and replace the namespace name and the resource type (pods|services) to get a list of the available resources.
+`http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/<namespace-name>/<resource-type>`
+
+### Make a request to a service or pod
+The url pattern looks like this: `http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/<namespace-name>/<pods|services>/<protocol>:<name>:<port>/proxy/<url-path>`
+Example: `http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/hangfire-services/services/http:hangfire-services:80/proxy/hangfire` will make a request to my hangfire dashboard.
