Making Kubernetes Usable: Kubernetes Dashboard Options
Making Kubernetes Usable: Kubernetes Dashboard Options
Managing Kubernetes can be a daunting task. It is a complex, and somewhat intimidating, system to navigate and manage. However, luckily, there is help. Kubernetes offers a range of dashboard options that make it easier to use and manage.
So, if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by Kubernetes – no worries, you don’t have to go it alone! Let’s check out some of the options that make Kubernetes more user-friendly.
Kubernetes Dashboard
First up, we have the (drumroll please!) Kubernetes Dashboard. Yup, the name pretty much says it all. This sleek, simple dashboard is the built-in option for managing Kubernetes, and it’s pretty great. It provides a nice overview of your clusters (including all the running pods, services, and deployments) and can be customized to your needs. It’s got a sleek, user-friendly look and makes it easy to find the information you need.
3rd Party Dashboards
If the built-in option doesn’t quite cut it, there are also plenty of third-party Kubernetes dashboard solutions out there. These include:
- Portworx’s KubeDash
- FluxCD’s Kubeview
- Deis’s Workflow
- Rancher’s Kubernetes equivalents
These dashboards offer more customization options and extra features than the Kubernetes dashboard, so you can pick one that suits your needs. And, at the very least, they will make managing Kubernetes a bit of a less daunting task.
Okay That’s All Folks
There you have it, a quick look at the range of Kubernetes dashboard solutions out there. Now, no matter what your needs are, there’s sure to be an option that can make managing Kubernetes a little less scary.
Just keep in mind that, while dashboards are great, nothing beats having a bit of knowledge about how Kubernetes works. So, get out there and read up on the things that make Kubernetes great!
