Kubernetes SIG UI Introduction and Updates

The presentation discusses the roadmap for improving the scalability and performance of Kubernetes Dashboard by decoupling the API and UI, implementing a new API architecture, and introducing a new outer layer.

• The current container for the API and UI will be split into two separate containers to improve scalability and ease of management
• Styling improvements will be made to allow for mounting custom themes into the separated UI container
• A new API architecture will be implemented with a GraphQL API to handle live updates more efficiently
• A new outer layer will be introduced to improve the overall performance of Kubernetes Dashboard

The current container for the API and UI is a big monolith, making scaling and handling new features more complex. By splitting the container and introducing a new API architecture, the team hopes to improve the overall performance and scalability of Kubernetes Dashboard.

SIG UI is the special interest group developing Kubernetes Dashboard.
