The Inner Workings of Kubernetes Management Frontends — A Software Engineer’s Perspective

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on dev.to

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • glasskube

    🧊 The next generation Package Manager for Kubernetes 📦 Featuring a GUI and a CLI. Glasskube packages are dependency aware, GitOps ready and can get automatic updates via a central public package repository.

  • One more plug: I work at Glasskube, where we are building the missing Kubernetes package manager. If you are interested in our work, make sure to star us: glasskube/glasskube.

  • dashboard

    General-purpose web UI for Kubernetes clusters

  • Setting up and interacting with your first cluster can be overwhelming. Just like me, you might have come across the infamous kubernetes/dashboard, followed the installation instructions, and asked yourself: "What did I just do and why exactly does this work the way it works?" And after some tinkering with your cluster, you might have installed even more external tools that help you with some specific aspects of cluster management, providing you with either a CLI or a Web UI.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • client-go

    Go client for Kubernetes.

  • The Kubernetes clients (e.g., Go client) support developers with both methods to connect to a cluster, as we can see in the following examples.
