Kubernetes is a complex beast. Luckily there are many tools to help tame it, but how complex are those tools themselves? One way to lower the learning curve for new users of Kubernetes and its tools is to have a good graphical user interface (GUI) for them, but do all those tools have a GUI? And how consistent is the user experience between them?
Headlamp is a CNCF Sandbox project that provides a great user experience as a Kubernetes GUI, and is extensible through plugins. With its recently added plugin catalog, users now have the possibility to easily install plugins plugins from 3rd party publishers.
This talk will give a brief overview of Headlamp as an extensible UI and go deeper into how developers can publish GUIs for their tools as Headlamp plugins, in an independent and easy way though ArtifactHub.
