This will generate the deployment, service, and secret that are required by Kubernetes for the dashboard to function. After executing the command, kubectl creates a namespace, service account, Kubernetes configMap, pods, cluster role, service, RBAC, and deployments resources representing the Kubernetes dashboard.
Kubernetes – Dashboard Setup
Kubernetes – Dashboard Setup is a web-based user interface that offers a summary of your Kubernetes cluster. You may manage your resources using a graphical interface and view information about your pods, deployments, services, and more with the dashboard. How do you maintain track of all the containers you deploy using Kubernetes when there are hundreds of them? That won’t work with a command-line interface. Everything must be represented visually. Welcome to the Kubernetes dashboard. The official web-based UI for Kubernetes, known as Kubernetes Dashboard, consists of a collection of services that make cluster management easier. You will discover how to set up the Kubernetes Dashboard on an Ubuntu computer step-by-step in this guide.
