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 to streamline deploying, configuration, and management of Helm apps - Resource Browser to visualize and manage different cluster resources like Nodes, Pods, ConfigMaps, Custom Resource Definations (CRDs), etc - Single Sign On (SSO) to simplify onboarding and authenticating team members. - Fine Grained RBAC to control the level of access users have to different Dashboard and Cluster resources.

Devtron helps you deploy, observe, manage & debug existing Helm apps in all your clusters.

Installation

Before you begin, you must create a Kubernetes cluster (preferably K8s 1.16 or higher) and install Helm.

Install Devtron's Kubernetes Dashboard

Run the following command to install the latest version of Devtron's Kubernetes Dashboard:

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:

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

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:

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.

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) 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) integration uses ArgoCD to implement GitOps for continuous delivery with GitOps patterns
• Vulnerability Scanning (Clair) integration enables you to scan the vulnerabilities of the images during the time of image build only.
• Vulnerability Scanning (Trivy) integration enables you to scan the vulnerabilities of the images during the time of image build only.
• 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) 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.
