In plain English

Kuboard is a free web-based management interface for Kubernetes, a platform used to run and orchestrate containerized applications (apps packaged in standardized containers that run consistently across environments). The problem Kubernetes solves is powerful but comes with steep complexity, managing it usually requires typing commands in a terminal and editing dense configuration files. Kuboard replaces that with a visual dashboard. With Kuboard you can manage multiple Kubernetes clusters from one place, see all your running services organized in layers, edit workloads (the technical term for running application instances) through visual forms instead of YAML files (the configuration text format Kubernetes uses), view container logs and open a terminal directly in the browser, upload and download files from containers, and set up monitoring via Prometheus and Grafana. It supports login with GitLab, GitHub, or LDAP (a common corporate directory system), and includes role-based access control so different team members see only what they should. You'd use Kuboard if your team runs applications on Kubernetes and wants to reduce reliance on the kubectl command-line tool. It's especially useful for developers who aren't Kubernetes experts but need to deploy, scale, or debug their services. The readme and interface are primarily in Chinese, indicating this tool is aimed at Chinese-speaking engineering teams. It's been deployed in production by 1,000+ companies. Built in JavaScript.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Show me how to set up Kuboard to manage my Kubernetes cluster and deploy an app using the visual interface instead of kubectl commands.
Prompt 2
How do I configure role-based access control in Kuboard so my team members can only see and manage their own services?
Prompt 3
Walk me through using Kuboard to view container logs, open a terminal, and debug a failing service in production.
Prompt 4
How do I connect Kuboard to Prometheus and Grafana to monitor my Kubernetes workloads from the dashboard?
Prompt 5
Set up Kuboard with GitHub login and show me how to manage multiple clusters from a single dashboard.
