Red Hat Summit1장. Web Console Overview
The OpenShift Container Platform web console provides a graphical user interface to visualize your project data and perform administrative, management, and troubleshooting tasks. The web console runs as pods on the control plane nodes in the openshift-console project. It is managed by a console-operator pod.
Starting with OpenShift Container Platform 4.19, the perspectives in the web console have unified. The Developer perspective is no longer enabled by default.
All users can interact with all OpenShift Container Platform web console features. However, if you are not the cluster owner, you might need to request permission to access certain features from the cluster owner.
You can still enable the Developer perspective. On the Getting Started pane in the web console, you can take a tour of the console, find information on setting up your cluster, view a quick start for enabling the Developer perspective, and follow links to explore new features and capabilities.
You can create quick start tutorials for OpenShift Container Platform that provide guided steps within the web console with user tasks. They are helpful for getting oriented with an application, Operator, or other product offering.
1.1. Administrator role in the web console
The cluster administrator role enables you to view the cluster inventory, capacity, general and specific utilization information, and the stream of important events, all of which help you to simplify planning and troubleshooting tasks. Both project administrators and cluster administrators can use all features in the web console.
Cluster administrators can also open an embedded command-line terminal instance with the web terminal Operator in OpenShift Container Platform 4.7 and later.
The Administrator perspective provides workflows specific to administrator use cases, such as the ability to:
- Manage workload, storage, networking, and cluster settings.
- Install and manage Operators using the software catalog.
- Add identity providers that allow users to log in and manage user access through roles and role bindings.
- View and manage a variety of advanced settings such as cluster updates, partial cluster updates, cluster Operators, custom resource definitions (CRDs), role bindings, and resource quotas.
- Access and manage monitoring features such as metrics, alerts, and monitoring dashboards.
- View and manage logging, metrics, and high-status information about the cluster.
- Visually interact with applications, components, and services.
