Is it possible to access kubernetes dashboard directly in browser in Azure Kuberenetes Service (AKS) (without additional commands)

7/17/2019

When I run kubectl cluster-info in AKS I get this:

kubernetes-dashboard is running at https://clusterUrl/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kubernetes-dashboard/proxy

This url is reachable in browser, but only returns 401.

I am wondering if it is possible to log in to Azure in some way so that this url is accessible? Would be quite convenient to access it directly.

using kubectl proxy, you can access the dashboard

[root@ae740dbd82bf /]# kubectl proxy
Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8001

open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/

If you want to access it externally then you have two choices

  1. define service port as NodePort. Then you would be able to access dashboard on any CLUSTER_HOST:NODEPORT
  2. Deploy an ingress controller and define a rule between the dashboard dns and the dashboard kubernetes service
