netcat-openbsdto the runner image soncis available inside JobManager/TaskManager pods.Why
Debugging a Flink job that cannot reach a sink usually starts with "can this pod open a TCP connection to the broker/database at all?". Without
ncin the image that means attaching an ephemeral debug container (which shares the network namespace but not always the same DNS/proxy view, and is unavailable on older clusters or where image pulls are restricted).nc -zv host portanswers it in one line, from the same process namespace the job runs in.netcat-openbsdis added to the existing JDKapt-get installlayer, so it costs no extra image layer and ~30 KB.Usage
Documented in the README next to the async-profiler section, which covers the same "tools that ship in the image for debugging" ground.
