With "Forensic Container Checkpointing" being Beta and discussions around graduating it to GA, the next step would be kubectl integration of the container checkpointing functionality.
In addition to the "Forensic Container Checkpointing" use case this KEP lists multiple use cases how checkpointing containers can be used.
One of the main motivations for this KEP is to make it easier for users to checkpoint containers, independent of the reason. Having it available via kubectl reduces the complexity of connecting to the node and accessing the kubectl checkpoint API endpoint.
