 have the prefix keymap ~kubed-prefix-map~ bound to e.g. ~C-c k~, then

+[[https://eshelyaron.com/kubed.html][Kubed]], my new Emacs-based Kubernetes interface, is now available from
+the official Emacs package archive GNU ELPA.  Some brave souls have
+already taken Kubed for a spin beforehand, but having the package on
+ELPA makes it easier to install and helps with discoverability for new
+users.  Crucially, if you pop up the packages list in vanilla Emacs
+and search for "Kubernetes", you'll now see /something/.
+
+The current Kubed version on ELPA is 0.3.1.  The main advancement in
+0.3 is the ability to have multiple resource list buffers showing
+resources in different namespaces or ~kubectl~ contexts.  This is
+similar to having multiple Dired buffers listing different directories
+in your file system.  For example, this lets you set up your
+deployment lists side by side for two different contexts (say, ~prod~
+and ~dev~) and then restart deployments in either context by simply
+switching buffers and hitting ~R~, or right-clicking in either buffer,
+without having to context-switch.
+
+[[file:../assets/kubed-multi-context.png]]
+
+Version 0.3 also introduced the ability to /bookmark/ resource list
+buffers and buffers that display a particular resource.  This is done
+by integrating with the standard Emacs bookmarks system, so it works
+with the usual commands (~C-x r m~ to set a bookmark, ~C-x r b~ to
+jump back to it anytime).
+
+The next version, 0.3.2, should be available sometimes next week.  The
+focus of that version is a new capability to edit and apply changes to
+resource YAMLs that Kubed displays.  Here's a sneak peek:
+
+[[file:../assets/kubed-replace-diff.png]]
+
+On a broader note, someone asked over on the GitHub mirror of Kubed
+for a comparison of Kubed with other Emacs package for Kubernetes.
+(Actually, they asked about one package in particular, ~kele~, but I
+assume the request applies to other existing packages as well.)
+
+While Kubed provides some currently exclusive features (such as the
+bookmarking integration and [[file:2024-07-31-crafting-kubectl-commands-in-style-with-kubed.org][completion support for kubectl commands]]),
+perhaps the most important difference between Kubed and existing
+Kubernetes packages is that Kubed is ultimately intended to be added
+to Emacs core, if people find it useful and important enough.
+
+One of the implications of this intention is that Kubed currently does
+not depend on any external package.  This is certainly a
+limitation---for instance, the ~with-editor~ package could help make
+commands like ~kubed-edit-pod~ simpler and more robust.  Another
+implication is that significant contributions to Kubed's code require
+copyright assignment to the FSF.
+
+Regardless, I think that a comparison of Kubed with its alternatives
+in terms of user facing features is a great idea.  For one, it could
+help folks that are looking for a Kubernetes interface understand if
+Kubed is the right choice for them.  I'd like to add a few words about
+each alternative to the project's ~README~, but the first order of
+business is to complete the documentation of Kubed proper.
+
+In the meantime, if you're giving Kubed a try and you've got some
+experience with other Kubernetes interfaces (Emacs packages like
+~kubernetes.el~, ~kele~, and ~kubel~, as well as other programs like
+~k9s~), I would love to hear your thoughts about the most prominent
+differences.  The best way to reach out is via an email to [[mailto:~eshel/kubed-devel@lists.sr.ht][the Kubed
+mailing list]]; bug reports, patches and feature suggestions are very
+welcome too!
