KDash is a fast, keyboard-driven terminal UI dashboard for Kubernetes built in Rust. It lets users watch, inspect, and manage cluster resources, logs, and port-forwards without leaving the shell.

Use cases

• monitor kubernetes cluster from terminal
• view pod logs in a tui
• manage kubernetes resources without kubectl
• port-forward pods and services from terminal
• watch deployments nodes and crds live
• scale and restart workloads from a dashboard
• browse kubernetes events and configmaps

When to choose

• you want a fast terminal-based kubernetes dashboard instead of a web UI
• you prefer keyboard-driven workflows and staying in the shell
• you need lightweight cluster monitoring plus common management actions like delete, scale, and port-forward

When to avoid

• you need a full graphical dashboard with multi-user access like Lens or the Kubernetes Dashboard
• you need advanced cluster administration such as RBAC editing or helm management
• you are not comfortable with terminal UIs
