Helm Dashboard is a UI tool for Helm that visualizes installed releases and their Kubernetes resources.
The tool addresses the gap between Helm's command-line interface and the need for visual inspection of chart deployments. It displays installed charts, their revision history, and the Kubernetes resources they create. Users can perform actions like rolling back to previous revisions or upgrading to newer versions while viewing manifest diffs to understand what will change. The dashboard can connect to multiple clusters and does not require Helm or kubectl to be installed on the machine running it.
Helm Dashboard suits teams that want a graphical alternative to command-line Helm operations, particularly for reviewing changes before applying them and managing rollbacks. It can run as a standalone binary or be installed as a Helm plugin, offering flexibility in deployment. The tool integrates with problem scanners to surface issues with deployed resources. Anyone considering adoption should note that this is not an official Helm project, though it provides a simplified workflow for common Helm tasks.
