Kubernetes Dashboard
Kubernetes Dashboard is a web-based user interface for managing and monitoring Kubernetes clusters. It provides a graphical way to deploy containerized applications, inspect and manage cluster resources, and troubleshoot issues without using command-line tools. The dashboard displays information about the state of Kubernetes objects in the cluster, such as pods, services, and deployments.
Developers should use Kubernetes Dashboard when they need a visual overview of their Kubernetes cluster for debugging, monitoring, or administrative tasks, especially in development or staging environments. It is particularly useful for users who prefer a GUI over CLI commands, for quickly checking resource usage, logs, and events, and for educational purposes to understand cluster operations. However, it is not recommended for production use without proper security configurations due to potential vulnerabilities.
