Headlamp

Headlamp is a web-based user interface for Kubernetes, published by Kinvolk under the Apache-2.0 license. It presents cluster state through a browser rather than the command line, so inspection work that would otherwise be done with kubectl queries is carried out by navigating views of the objects a cluster holds.

The project describes itself as extensible, meaning the interface is intended to be adapted or added to rather than used only in the form it ships. The facts for this entry do not enumerate which parts of the interface an extension can reach, nor which authentication methods are supported, so those points are worth confirming in the project's own documentation before planning a deployment. Whoever runs it also decides how the interface is exposed and which cluster credentials it uses.

This entry covers a Linux packaging; no build for other operating systems is recorded here. Kubernetes itself is not included — Headlamp is a client for a cluster that already exists.
