Kubernetes contains several built-in tools to help you work with the Kubernetes system, and also supports third-party tooling.
#### Native Tools
Kubernetes contains the following built-in tools:
##### Kubectl
[`kubectl`](/docs/user-guide/kubectl/) is the command line tool for Kubernetes. It controls the Kubernetes cluster manager.
##### Kubeadm
[`kubeadm`](/docs/getting-started-guides/kubeadm/) is the command line tool for easily provisioning a secure Kubernetes cluster on top of physical or cloud servers or virtual machines (currently in alpha).
##### Kubefed
[`kubefed`](/docs/tutorials/federation/set-up-cluster-federation-kubefed/) is the command line tool
to help you administrate your federated clusters.
##### Minikube
[`minikube`](/docs/getting-started-guides/minikube/) is a tool that makes it
easy to run a single-node Kubernetes cluster locally on your workstation for
development and testing purposes.
##### Dashboard
[Dashboard](/docs/tasks/web-ui-dashboard/), the web-based user interface of Kubernetes, allows you to deploy containerized applications
to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot them, and manage the cluster and its resources itself.
#### Third-Party Tools
Kubernetes supports various third-party tools. These include, but are not limited to:
##### Helm
[Kubernetes Helm](https://github.com/kubernetes/helm) is a tool for managing packages of pre-configured
Kubernetes resources, aka Kubernetes charts.
Use Helm to:
* Find and use popular software packaged as Kubernetes charts
* Share your own applications as Kubernetes charts
* Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications
* Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files
* Manage releases of Helm packages
##### Kompose
[Kompose](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/kompose) is a tool to help Docker Compose users move to Kubernetes.
Use Kompose to:
* Translate a Docker Compose file into Kubernetes objects
* Go from local Docker development to managing your application via Kubernetes
* Convert v1 or v2 Docker Compose `yaml` files or [Distributed Application Bundles](https://docs.docker.com/compose/bundles/)
