Headlamp: Plugin Management UI
Welcome to another exciting update from the Headlamp project! We're thrilled to introduce our latest addition -- the Plugin Management feature, a native Headlamp tool for managing plugins in your Kubernetes cluster. As we discussed in our previous blog post, plugins are essential for enhancing the functionality and efficiency of Headlamp, and therefore your Kubernetes experience.
The Plugin Management feature also represents a change in what kind of information Headlamp accesses from its plugins. Before version 0.17.0, Headlamp’s focus lay exclusively on the JS file, which contained the functional elements of the plugin. This model, while effective, was limited in terms of the information accessed. To capture additional metadata like version compatibility, origin, and descriptions, a new package.json file has been integrated into the plugin structure, alongside the original JS file.
