I am currently using Kubernetes Python SDK to fetch relevant information from my k8s cluster. I am running this from outside the cluster.
I have a requirement of fetching the images of all the POD's running within a namespace. I did look at Docker python SDK but that requires me to be running the script on the cluster itself which i want to avoid.
Is there a way to get this done ?
TIA
that requires me to be running the script on the cluster itself
No, it should not: the kubernetes-client python performs operations similar to kubectl calls (as detailed here).
And kubectl calls can be done from any client with a properly set .kube/config file.
Once you get the image name from a kubectl describe po/mypod, you might need to docker pull that image locally if you want more (like a docker history).
The OP Raks adds in the comments:
I wanted to know if there is a python client API that actually gives me an option to do docker pull/save/load of an image as such
The docker-py library can pull/load/save images.
