Devtron's **extensible Kubernetes Dashboard** provides clear visibility into your Kubernetes clusters and streamlines Helm app management through a single, intuitive interface.
With built-in RBAC, it ensures secure access while offering integrated insights into workloads deployed via GitOps tools like **ArgoCD** and **FluxCD** across multiple clusters. Devtron creates a centralized DevOps hub, accelerating operations by up to 20x :rocket: Check out the below video to experience the full power of the **Kubernetes Dashboard**.

Out of the box, Devtron's Kubernetes Dashboard includes: - [Helm Application Management](https://docs.dashboard.devtron.ai/user-guide/helm-apps) to streamline deploying, configuration, and management of Helm apps - [Resource Browser](https://docs.dashboard.devtron.ai/user-guide/resource-browser) to visualize and manage different cluster resources like Nodes, Pods, ConfigMaps, Custom Resource Definations (CRDs), etc - [Single Sign On (SSO)](https://docs.dashboard.devtron.ai/operator-guide/authorization/sso-login-services) to simplify onboarding and authenticating team members. - [Fine Grained RBAC](https://docs.dashboard.devtron.ai/operator-guide/authorization) to control the level of access users have to different Dashboard and Cluster resources. [Devtron](#devtron-platform) helps you deploy, observe, manage & debug existing Helm apps in all your clusters. --- ## Devtron Dashboard Devtron's Kubernetes Dashboard offers a variety of different features, giving you flexibility to manage your clusters as you desire. ### Features - Simplified configuration and management for Helm applications with easy rollback - Compare and reconcile configuration drifts across environments - Manage Helm deployments to multiple Kubernetes environments - A single pane of glass for Helm, ArgoCD, and FluxCD applications across multiple clusters - Centralized Dashboard to view and manage K8s resources across multiple clusters - Comprehensive SSO and RBAC to ensure secure dashboard access for team collaboration To get a more comprehensive understanding of Devtron's Kubernetes Dashboard, please visit the [documentation](https://docs.dashboard.devtron.ai/) ### Installation Before you begin, you must create a [Kubernetes cluster](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tutorials/kubernetes-basics/create-cluster/) (preferably K8s 1.16 or higher) and install [Helm](https://helm.sh/docs/intro/install/). ### Install Devtron's Kubernetes Dashboard Run the following command to install the latest version of Devtron's Kubernetes Dashboard: ```bash helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai helm install devtron devtron/devtron-operator \ --create-namespace --namespace devtroncd ``` ### Access Devtron **URL**: Use the following command to get the dashboard URL: ```bash kubectl get svc -n devtroncd devtron-service -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress}' ``` **Credentials**: **UserName**: `admin`
**Password**: Run the following command to get the admin password for Devtron version v0.6.0 and higher ```bash kubectl -n devtroncd get secret devtron-secret -o jsonpath='{.data.ADMIN_PASSWORD}' | base64 -d ``` For Devtron version less than v0.6.0, run the following command to get the admin password: ```bash kubectl -n devtroncd get secret devtron-secret -o jsonpath='{.data.ACD_PASSWORD}' | base64 -d ``` Please refer to the document for more information on how to [access the Devtron Dashboard](https://docs.dashboard.devtron.ai/getting-started/install-devtron-dashboard). --- ## Devtron Platform The Devtron Platform provides a complete solution for all DevOps requirements, helping to create a single centralized DevOps Platform for managing all applications across Kubernetes clusters.
With Devtron Platform, you can accelerate your application delivery lifecycle by leveraging advanced features like canary deployments, A/B testing, and automated rollbacks. Devtron Platform helps you achieve faster time-to-market and improved application reliability by simplifying Kubernetes operations and streamlining development workflows.

Devtron deeply integrates with products across the lifecycle of microservices,i.e., CI, CD, security, cost, debugging, and observability via an intuitive web interface and helps you deploy, observe, manage & debug applications across all your Kubernetes clusters. ### Devtron Integrations By harnessing the potential of diverse integrations, Devtron Dashboard can evolve into a robust platform, automating Kubernetes application workflows, from CI/CD pipelines to ongoing maintenance Devtron comes with the following integrations: - [Build and Deploy (CI/CD)](https://docs.devtron.ai/usage/integrations/build-and-deploy-ci-cd) integration enables software development teams to automate the build and deployment process, allowing them to focus on meeting the business requirements, maintaining code quality, and ensuring security - [GitOps (Argo CD)](https://docs.devtron.ai/usage/integrations/argocd) integration uses ArgoCD to implement GitOps for continuous delivery with GitOps patterns - [Vulnerability Scanning (Clair)](https://docs.devtron.ai/usage/integrations/clair) integration enables you to scan the vulnerabilities of the images during the time of image build only. - [Vulnerability Scanning (Trivy)](https://docs.devtron.ai/usage/integrations/clair) integration enables you to scan the vulnerabilities of the images during the time of image build only. - [Notifications](https://docs.devtron.ai/usage/integrations/notifications) integration, lets you receive alerts for build and deployment pipelines on trigger, success, and failure events to your email or a Slack channel via SES and SMTP. - [Monitoring (Grafana)](https://docs.devtron.ai/usage/integrations/grafana) integration uses Grafana to gather application metrics like CPU, Memory utilization, Status 4xx/ 5xx/ 2xx, Throughput, and Latency. ### Features - End-to-End CI/CD pipeline enabling a No Code software delivery workflow for Kubernetes through Helm or GitOps with ArgoCD - Deploy applications to multiple Kubernetes clusters on multiple cloud/on-prem from one Devtron setup - Robust DevSecOps implementation with battle tested tools like Trivy and Clair - A Single dashboard to cater to all debugging requirements for applications - Deployment metrics to measure the success of the agile process. It captures MTTR, change failure rate, deployment frequency, and deployment size.
