Kudos to the Kube-UI team.

You folks have made huge progress since 1.3. Dashboard is looking really nice.

The one feature I am really waiting for is being able to attach a terminal to a running pod container - all from the GUI (like the cloud shell feature of GCP). That would be simply awesome.


I agree - having this available in OpenShift's console was a game changer for debugging. Looking forward to it in kubedash


For sure - any particular features there? Or just parity with kubectl exec?

Not GP but I assume he means something like what is provided by weavescope [1]. I've tried weavescope but not kube-ui, although from what I can tell weavescope looks a little nicer and provides more functionality.

Weavescope is great, when the increase in overhead is overcome by the efficiency and specificity of the metrics it provides. In our case, WS did not justify its own existence in this sense.

I love the direction this is going - people have been really looking forward to a single pane of glass and this gives it to them. I really wanted to call out how much the community helped out here - TONS of folks to make this great.


GIFs are not effective explainer tools if the text/cursor is difficult to parse due to the low resolution/compression. (And especially not with fade in/fade out transition)

This would be a case where a video is better to demonstrate the new functionality.


Thanks for the feedback. We will shoot videos to demo new capabilities as well.


The 1.4 Dashboard really impressed me. It moved the user experience from something mostly good for lightweight overview to something that can actually be used over running commands over kubectl. Kudos!


Great to see this much needed update after seeing the team work on it. Anyone interested in contributing to the UI or giving feedback should join the Kubernetes UI SIG https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/sig-ui/R...



Thanks, we've updated the link.
