Kubernetes can be complex to troubleshoot, especially when it comes to remembering precise CLI commands or piecing together multiple tools. In this talk, we introduce the open source project Inspektor Gadget -  a CNCF sandbox project whose goal is to simplify Kubernetes observability. Leveraging the power of eBPF, Inspektor Gadget enables users to gain low level visibility into their Linux systems within the context they're familiar with like pods, nodes, and namespaces. In this presentation we'll show you the easiest way to use Inspektor Gadget for troubleshooting - the Inspektor Gadget MCP Server. This is an open source project designed to help users investigate and resolve some of the trickiest Kubernetes issues (including DNS!) by using natural language queries. With just a few thoughtful prompts, we can go from the chaos and frustration that comes along with troubleshooting issues to the sense of achievement that is derived from successfully identifying the root cause of an issue.
