β Azure RBAC Integration: Secure collaboration using built-in Azure role-based access control at cluster and namespace levels.
β Open-Source Foundation: Built on Headlamp, aligning with Kubernetes standards and existing tooling.
β Optimized for AKS: Native Azure integration means smoother cluster connectivity and management compared to generic Kubernetes dashboards.
