> Use this tool when you need to access Kubernetes services remotely by port forwarding with terminal integration, solving connectivity issues for development, testing, and debugging purposes. It takes Kubernetes service names and ports as input and outputs a secure, forwarded connection. Ideal for use cases requiring local access to remote Kubernetes services, such as testing microservices or troubleshooting deployments.
