Kubernetes Dashboard

Kubernetes Dashboard is a general purpose, web-based UI for Kubernetes clusters. It allows users to manage applications running in the cluster and troubleshoot them, as well as manage the cluster itself.

Getting Started

IMPORTANT: Read the Access Control guide before performing any further steps. The default Dashboard deployment contains a minimal set of RBAC privileges needed to run.

To deploy Dashboard, execute following command:

$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes/dashboard/v2.0.0-rc3/aio/deploy/recommended.yaml

To access Dashboard from your local workstation you must create a secure channel to your Kubernetes cluster. Run the following command:

$ kubectl proxy

Now access Dashboard at:

http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/.

Create An Authentication Token (RBAC)

To find out how to create sample user and log in follow Creating sample user guide.

NOTE:

Kubeconfig Authentication method does not support external identity providers or certificate-based authentication.
metrics-server has to be running in the cluster for the metrics and graphs to be available. Read more about it in Integrations guide.
