AI-based collaborative Kubernetes troubleshooting platform operating within Slack, Teams, Discord, and Mattermost. AI Insights provide troubleshooting and operations guidance for cluster issues. Real-time alert enrichment adds K8s context to notifications. Enables ChatOps remediation — execute kubectl commands and runbooks directly from chat. Converts passive telemetry notifications into human-in-the-loop operational actions inside the collaboration platform.
Botkube is a Kubernetes ChatOps platform that routes cluster events and alerts into Slack, Teams, Discord, or Mattermost with enriched context attached. When an event fires, Botkube adds pod logs, resource state, and related Kubernetes objects to the notification. AI Insights interprets the cluster state and explains the issue in plain English inside the chat thread.
Engineers respond directly from chat: run kubectl commands, execute remediation playbooks, or approve operations without switching to a terminal. Role-based access controls define which commands each user can run against which clusters.
Open-source core (single cluster, basic event routing) is available under Apache 2.0. Team and Enterprise tiers add multi-cluster support, AI Insights, and SLA. CNCF-listed project.
Key Features
Kubernetes event routing to Slack, Teams, Discord, and Mattermost with enriched context: pod logs, resource state, and related objects attached to each notification automatically
AI Insights: interprets cluster state at alert time and explains the issue in plain English inside the chat thread — reduces the context-switching required to understand a Kubernetes failure
In-chat kubectl and remediation execution: run commands, execute playbooks, and approve operations directly from chat with role-based access controls per user and cluster
Open-source core under Apache 2.0: single cluster, basic event routing, and community plugins are free and self-hosted; production use of the OSS version is a realistic starting point
Multi-cluster support: Team and Enterprise tiers manage multiple clusters from one Botkube installation with per-cluster channel routing and RBAC
Plugin architecture: extend with community or custom plugins for additional event sources, executors (Helm, Flux), and notification targets
