Kite

Kite is a modern, lightweight Kubernetes dashboard for managing and monitoring one or more clusters through a web UI. It focuses on fast navigation, comprehensive resource coverage, and integrated observability features.

Key Features

• Multi-cluster management with kubeconfig discovery and fast cluster switching
• Comprehensive resource management (workloads, services, config, storage, nodes, and CRDs)
• Live YAML editing with Monaco-based editor features
• Built-in monitoring dashboards powered by Prometheus (CPU, memory, network)
• Real-time pod log streaming with filtering and search
• In-browser terminal access for pods and nodes
• Resource relationship views (for example, deployments and their pods)
• UI-based access control features including RBAC, user management, and OAuth integration
• Kube proxy functionality to access pods/services without manual port-forwarding

Use Cases

• Day-to-day cluster administration without relying solely on kubectl
• Multi-cluster operations for teams managing several Kubernetes environments
• Troubleshooting workloads using metrics, logs, and terminal access in one place

Limitations and Considerations

• The project is under rapid development; APIs and behavior may change

Kite is a strong option for teams wanting a clean Kubernetes dashboard with multi-cluster support and Prometheus-backed observability. It combines resource operations, live configuration editing, and troubleshooting tools into a single interface.
