Its pretty, usable, friendly, however No one is going to use this to manage more then a few systems.

cockpit has cluster support for kubernetes http://cockpit-project.org/guide/133/feature-kubernetes.html http://cockpit-project.org/guide/133/feature-kubernetes.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcfsu22RssU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcfsu22RssU

  It looks neat and all, but I'm not sure why I should use this over Kubernetes internal Dashboard?

I'm sure someone is going to manage more than a few systems, the question is whether they should. To me cockpit is firmly in the Pet sector whereas the Cattle way of doing things is clearly the one that scales better.

  Not everyone has a large cattle farm. Some folks just have a couple pets to care for.

If you need to manage a large and diverse infrastructure you should also consider Mist.io: https://github.com/mistio/mist.io https://github.com/mistio/mist.io Disclaimer: I'm one of the founders

  How's the open source version of mist.io these days? I remember evaluating it (and cockpit, among others) for managing a small isolated network of about two dozen machines in early 2017 and it seemed that the open source release had been somewhat ignored and wasn't really working at that point. Note that all of my work is on networks that are disconnected from the internet, so I ignore SaaS offerings or versions completely.

    I think it's worth a second try. We've been updating it quite regularly lately and we're about to release version 3.0.0 of the Community Edition, most likely next week. It introduces support for monitoring and alerting w/ Telegraf & InfluxDB, among other things. If you're anxious ( and somewhat brave ;) you can try installing it from the staging branch today. Also, there's a Mist.io Enteprise Edition nowadays that you can install on-premises. There's more info about that at https://mist.io https://mist.io

  Is there a theory of operations available? Hard to judge its utility from the current README.
