Kubernetes SIG UI Introduction and Updates

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Kubernetes Dashboard is at v2.5.1 (supports Kubernetes up to 1.23.6; 1.24 support approved) and ships as one binary with a TypeScript front end, Go backend, and a Dashboard Metrics Scraper for metrics. Current work splits that binary into split UI and API into separate containers so the UI can be light and the backend scalable, adds a GraphQL API + API gateway to replace monolithic endpoints, uses informers for caching to reduce API server load, implements OIDC login/logout, permits mountable custom themes, and targets better performance for very large clusters (users report issues around ~10k pods / 100+ nodes).
