From Kubernetes Dashboard to Headlamp: Understanding the Transition
The Kubernetes Dashboard project has been archived. The Kubernetes blog presents Headlamp as its successor and maps common Dashboard workflows such as viewing, editing, scaling and deleting resources to Headlamp, which uses standard Kubernetes RBAC. Headlamp adds multi-cluster views, Projects that group related resources by application, plugins including a Flux plugin and an AI Assistant, and both in-cluster and desktop deployment. A step-by-step migration guide is said to be coming soon.
What changes for platform teams
Teams still using Kubernetes Dashboard will need to plan a move to Headlamp, since the project is archived. Existing kubeconfig and service account access models are said to carry over, so the main work is evaluating the UI and choosing an in-cluster or desktop deployment.
