KUAKubernetes and multiple clouds in one app

No more jumping between consoles and terminals. Your Kubernetes clusters, AWS, GCP and Vercel in one free, open source desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux.

KUA dashboard showing a Kubernetes cluster overview

A Kubernetes and cloud dashboard on your desktop ​

KUA puts your Kubernetes clusters, AWS and GCP accounts and Vercel projects in one desktop app. Browse pods, deployments and services, read live and historical logs, open a shell in a pod or an EC2 instance, forward ports, install Helm charts, search CloudWatch logs, find recurring errors and see what your cloud API calls cost — without switching between the AWS console, the GCP console, kubectl and a terminal.

  • Kubernetes: multi-cluster kubeconfig, workloads, ConfigMaps and Secrets, logs, exec, port forwarding, events, metrics, Helm.
  • AWS: EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, RDS, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch Logs and Logs Insights, IAM-aware least privilege.
  • GCP: Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage.
  • Local and private: credentials stay encrypted on your computer; the app is open source.

Frequently asked questions ​

What is KUA?

KUA (KuaDashboard) is a free, open source desktop dashboard for Kubernetes, AWS, GCP and Vercel. It shows clusters, pods, deployments, logs, shells, port forwards, Helm releases, CloudWatch logs and cloud costs in one app for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Is KUA an alternative to Lens or k9s?

Yes. Like Lens or k9s, KUA manages Kubernetes clusters from your kubeconfig: workloads, logs, pod exec, port forwarding, events, metrics and Helm. It also manages AWS, GCP and Vercel resources in the same window, which those tools do not.

Does KUA work with EKS, GKE and AKS?

Yes. KUA works with any cluster in your kubeconfig, including Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, k3s, kind and minikube, and it can import kubeconfigs for EKS and GKE from your cloud profiles.

Is KUA free?

Yes. KUA is open source under the MIT license and every local feature is free. Optional Pro and Team plans add cloud backups, sync between computers, the Advisor and team sharing.

Do my credentials leave my computer?

No. Kubeconfigs, cloud credentials, profiles and logs stay on your computer, encrypted with the operating system keychain. KUA talks to your clusters and cloud APIs directly.
