About Headlamp
Headlamp is a graphical interface for Kubernetes clusters. It is built to be easy to use and easy to extend, so teams can adapt it to their own workflows.
What it does
Headlamp shows the resources in a Kubernetes cluster and lets you manage them from a web browser or a desktop app. It follows each user's cluster permissions, so people only see and change what they are allowed to. Teams can build custom views and branding with plugins.
Key features
- View and manage cluster resources in one interface
- Access follows each user's cluster permissions
- Run as a web app, a desktop app or both
- Plugins for custom views and branding
- Install inside a cluster with Helm
Who it's for
Kubernetes users, platform teams and anyone who wants a simpler view of their clusters than the command line gives. It also suits teams that need to manage several unrelated clusters from one desktop app.
Pricing and good to know
Headlamp is open source under the Apache 2.0 licence and is free to use. It is an official Kubernetes sub-project within SIG UI. The Windows desktop app is not code-signed, so Windows may show a warning when you start it.
