> The Kubernetes API should now be available at http://localhost:8001 http://localhost:8001, and the dashboard at this rather complicated URL. It used to be reachable at http://localhost:8001/ui http://localhost:8001/ui, but this has been changed due to what I gather are security reasons.
I was playing around with GCE Hosted Kubernetes about a year ago, and things were pretty clear as far as I recall. I've read lots of positive things, and figured it's a good way to start.
Then I tried again recently, and I couldn't even get to the dashboard. Eventually after several cryptic StackOverflow copy&pastes I managed to load it (don't even remember how), only for the session to expire after 10 minutes or so... It was utterly frustrating. I didn't actually get to the more interesting part I was planning to play with as a result...
People say that there's a learning curve, and I get it. And also I'm not even trying to install Kubernetes on my own, but try to use a hosted service. I'm also pretty switched on when it comes to security and trying new things (or I'd like to think I am), but there are some things that feel like too much of an obstacle for me unfortunately.
- lnsp 8y agoGKE actively disadvises from using the Kubernetes Dashboard and recommends their dashboard as a replacement. On their website [1] they list the following: > Caution: As of September 2017, Kubernetes Dashboard is deprecated in Kubernetes Engine. You can use the dashboards described on this page to monitor your clusters' performance, workloads, and resources.

- gingerlime 8y agoThat's good to know. I guess I was just heading in the wrong direction from the start. I think I did try the built-in dashboard on the GCE web console, but somehow didn't see any of the stuff I was expecting (but maybe I've just assumed the "real" dashboard is the one I was trying to load).
