Kubernetes Dashboard to Headlamp: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Before you start: know what is changingKubernetes Dashboard and Headlamp both show what is running in a cluster, but they work differently. When Headlamp runs on the desktop, it uses your existing kubeconfig to connect to one or more clusters and can be extended with plugins. When Headlamp runs inside a cluster, it uses a Kubernetes ServiceAccount to access the API and follow RBAC rules. Kubernetes Dashboard, in contrast, only runs in-cluster and always relies on service account tokens. Understanding these models early helps you choose the right setup and permissions.
