Available in VPC

You can use Kubernetes Dashboard on NAVER CLOUD Platform's Ncloud Kubernetes Service without any installation process.

Introduce Kubernetes Dashboard

The Kubernetes Dashboard is a web-based user interface (UI) tool for visually managing Kubernetes clusters. Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform. It is used to deploy, manage and expand containerized applications. The Kubernetes Dashboard serves as a tool to easily monitor these Kubernetes clusters, help administrators and developers visualize the status of clusters, and manage cluster resources.

Kubernetes Dashboard allows you to perform the following actions:

  • Monitor the health of nodes and pods in the cluster, and check resources usage
  • Create, edit and delete Kubernetes objects such as pods, services and volumes
  • Check application logs, monitor events and alerts
  • Manage networking features such as services, ingress and storage
  • Manage access privileges for users and roles in the cluster

Supported version

NAVER CLOUD Platform's Ncloud Kubernetes Service supports Kubernetes Dashboard as follows.

Feature\Kubernetes Version 1.22 1.23+
Kubernetes Dashboard Not supported Supported
  • If you are using a Kubernetes version that is not supported, you can use the features by upgrading it to version 1.23 or higher.
  • Even if you are using an unsupported Kubernetes version, you can directly install and use the Kubernetes Dashboard. For additional information, see the link below.

Use Kubernetes Dashboard

The following describes how to use the Kubernetes Dashboard:

  1. From the VPC environment on the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to i_menu > Services > Containers > Ncloud Kubernetes Service.
  2. From the list of clusters, click the cluster you want to use the Kubernetes Dashboard for.
  3. Click the Dashboard button.

Manage user permissions

When you create an Ncloud Kubernetes Service cluster, the Sub Account account and the main account that created the cluster are automatically set to the system:masters group in the cluster RBAC configuration and this setting is not displayed in the cluster information or ConfigMap. To allow a Sub Account other than the one that created the cluster to use the Kubernetes Dashboard, you must assign cluster usage permissions to that account. For more information, see the link below.
