When you get behind the wheel of your car, one of the first things you see is the dashboard. Your dashboard provides various information about all the different technologies that make the car run smoothly, like helping you control your speed, providing insight into your fuel levels, and offering suggestions for regular maintenance, like oil changes. For developers, Kubernetes acts as that one-glance dashboard to provide insights about container performance, maintenance needs, and storage requirements.
