Feature overview

KubeUI is a desktop workspace for everyday Kubernetes exploration and operations.

Cluster workspaces​

  • Load Kubernetes configuration files and connect to multiple clusters.
  • Open resource views in a dockable workspace that supports multiple windows and monitors.
  • Browse built-in resources and custom resources discovered from CRDs.

Resource exploration​

  • Inspect resources in sortable, searchable, filterable tables.
  • Select namespaces and navigate resources available to your identity.
  • Visualize references between Kubernetes objects.

YAML editing​

  • Inspect and edit Kubernetes resources as YAML.
  • Use Kubernetes-aware completion and field documentation when schemas are available.
  • Review validation feedback and run a server-side dry run before saving.

Workload and operations tools​

  • View pod logs and open a pod console where permitted.
  • Forward pod and service ports.
  • View pod CPU and memory metrics when the cluster provides metrics.
  • Cordon, uncordon, or drain nodes.
  • Inspect certificates represented in Kubernetes secrets.

Access-aware workflows​

KubeUI adapts resource navigation to the permissions available to the connected identity, including reduced-access and namespace-scoped environments.

Follow the task guides for clusters, resource browsing, YAML editing, visualization, workload tools, and Pod logs.
