    From the README

    NOTICE: We have recently moved the project under the Kubernetes SIG UI (and the repo under the kubernetes-sigs org). Container images are still at ghcr.io. Please bear with us while we may experience some broken links.

    Headlamp is an easy-to-use and extensible Kubernetes web UI.

    Headlamp was created to blend the traditional feature set of other web UIs/dashboards (i.e., to list and view resources) with added functionality.
