The k8s-provider-detection project helps you figure out where your Kubernetes cluster is running. In simple terms, if you have software deployed using Kubernetes and you need to know whether it is hosted on Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or a local machine, this tool does the checking for you. It works by looking at specific clues inside the Kubernetes environment. When software runs in a cloud provider's managed Kubernetes service, the provider usually leaves behind small pieces of identifying information. This tool inspects those details behind the scenes and reports back which cloud platform it found. Because it is written in Go, it can be easily bundled into other tools or automated workflows that need this information to make decisions. Someone managing infrastructure or building developer tools would use this when their software needs to behave differently depending on its environment. For example, if an application needs to connect to a specific database service that is unique to AWS or Google Cloud, it can use this tool to detect the provider automatically and connect to the right place without a human having to manually configure it. The repository does not include a README with further documentation, so it does not go into detail about specific setup instructions, advanced features, or the full list of providers it can recognize. Based on the code and project description, it is designed as a straightforward utility for a very specific infrastructure question.
A small Go tool that detects which cloud provider your Kubernetes cluster is running on by inspecting clues in the environment. It helps apps automatically adapt their behavior based on where they are deployed.
