Kubernetes Dashboard: A Full-Featured Web Interface

--- title: " Dashboard - Full Featured Web Interface for Kubernetes " date: 2016-07-15 slug: dashboard-web-interface-for-kubernetes url: /blog/2016/07/Dashboard-Web-Interface-For-Kubernetes author: > Piotr Bryk (Google) --- _**Editor's note:** this post is part of a [series of in-depth articles](/blog/2016/07/five-days-of-kubernetes-1-3) on what's new in Kubernetes 1.3_ [Kubernetes Dashboard](http://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard) is a project that aims to bring a general purpose monitoring and operational web interface to the Kubernetes world. Three months ago we [released](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2016/04/building-awesome-user-interfaces-for-kubernetes) the first production ready version, and since then the dashboard has made massive improvements. In a single UI, you’re able to perform majority of possible interactions with your Kubernetes clusters without ever leaving your browser. This blog post breaks down new features introduced in the latest release and outlines the roadmap for the future.  **Full-Featured Dashboard** Thanks to a large number of contributions from the community and project members, we were able to deliver many new features for [Kubernetes 1.3 release](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2016/07/kubernetes-1-3-bridging-cloud-native-and-enterprise-workloads/). We have been carefully listening to all the great feedback we have received from our users (see the [summary infographics](http://static.lwy.io/img/kubernetes_dashboard_infographic.png)) and addressed the highest priority requests and pain points. The Dashboard UI now handles all workload resources. This means that no matter what workload type you run, it is visible in the web interface and you can do operational changes on it. For example, you can modify your stateful MySQL installation with [Pet Sets](/docs/user-guide/petset/), do a rolling update of your web server with Deployments or install cluster monitoring with DaemonSets.  [![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p9bMGxPx4jE6_Z2KB-MktmyuAxyFst-bEk29M_Bn0Bj5ul7uzinH6u5WjHsMmqhGvBwlABZt06dwQ5qkBZiLq_EM1oddCmpwChvXDNXZypaS5l8uzkKuZj3PBUmzTQT4dgDxSXgz) ](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p9bMGxPx4jE6_Z2KB-MktmyuAxyFst-bEk29M_Bn0Bj5ul7uzinH6u5WjHsMmqhGvBwlABZt06dwQ5qkBZiLq_EM1oddCmpwChvXDNXZypaS5l8uzkKuZj3PBUmzTQT4dgDxSXgz)
