Extensible Kubernetes UI that runs in-cluster or locally as a desktop app
Headlamp is an easy-to-use and extensible Kubernetes user interface. It blends the traditional features of other dashboards, such as listing and viewing resources, with added functionality, and it works in-cluster or locally as a desktop app.
It helps developers and operators who manage one or several clusters. The desktop app uses your existing kubeconfig, and access follows the Kubernetes RBAC permissions of the token you use.
