Kubernetes Dashboard

Available in VPC

You can use the Kubernetes Dashboard without a separate installation process in NAVER Cloud Platform Ncloud Kubernetes Service.

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.

The Kubernetes Dashboard allows you to:

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

Supported versions

The NAVER Cloud Platform Ncloud Kubernetes Service provides the following support for the Kubernetes Dashboard:

• If you are using a Kubernetes version that is not supported, you can use the functions 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 more information, refer to the following link.

Use Kubernetes Dashboard

The following describes how to use the Kubernetes Dashboard:

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

Managing user permissions

Once a Ncloud Kubernetes Service cluster is created, Sub Account that created the cluster and Main Account will be automatically set to the 'system:masters' group in the cluster RBAC configuration, but this setting is not displayed in the cluster information or ConfigMap. If a SubAccount account other than Sub Account that created the cluster wants to use the Kubernetes Dashboard, you must add the cluster permissions to the account.
