  • k8dash

    Simple Kubernetes real-time dashboard and management.

  • Skooner—previously known as "K8Dash"—is the first entry on this list to directly target the use case of being a Kubernetes dashboard. It gives you everything you'd want in a dashboard, from viewing your configurations and workloads to even managing them and editing the YAML directly in the UI.

  • octant

    Discontinued Highly extensible platform for developers to better understand the complexity of Kubernetes clusters.

  • If you’re looking for a set of valuable tools that collectively work as a powerful dashboard, Octant may be ideal.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • kubevious

    Kubevious - Kubernetes without disasters

  • In many ways, Kubevious is like many other Kubernetes Dashboard alternatives in that it provides the capability to view, edit, and maintain your configurations. However, Kubevious is going strong on one specific selling point: simplicity.

  • lens

    Lens - The way the world runs Kubernetes

  • Lens, like DevSpace, was not intended to be used as a dashboard per se, but rather as a "Kubernetes IDE". In practice, this means that you’re getting very much the same capabilities you would get from the integrated Kubernetes Dashboard. You can view Namespaces, resize ReplicaSets, delete Services, etc.

  • devspace

    DevSpace - The Fastest Developer Tool for Kubernetes ⚡ Automate your deployment workflow with DevSpace and develop software directly inside Kubernetes.

  • DevSpace wasn't originally developed with the intention of being a dashboard where you can monitor your cluster. Instead, it positions itself as a useful tool for deploying and developing applications, which is the reason most developers start using the tool. However, it also comes with a Localhost UI you can use to get some basic information about your services, like getting the logs.

  • 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.
