Dashboard (the web-based user interface of Kubernetes) allows you to deploy containerized applications to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot them, and manage the cluster and its resources itself. You can use it for getting an overview of applications running on the cluster, as well as for creating or modifying individual Kubernetes resources and workloads, such as Daemon Sets, Stateful Sets, Replica Sets, Jobs and corresponding Services, or Pods. Dashboard is a web-based Kubernetes user interface. You can use Dashboard to deploy containerized applications to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot your containerized application, and manage the cluster itself along with its attendant resources. You can use Dashboard to get an overview of applications running on your cluster, as well as for creating or modifying individual Kubernetes resources (such as Deployments, Jobs, DaemonSets, etc). For example, you can scale a Deployment, initiate a rolling update, restart a pod or deploy new applications using a deploy wizard.
Dashboard also provides information on the state of Deployments, Replica Sets, etc. and on any errors that might have occurred. You can inspect and manage the Kubernetes resources and applications deployed on the cluster. For example, you can scale a Deployment, initiate a rolling update, restart a pod or deploy new applications using a deploy wizard. Dashboard also provides information on the state of Kubernetes resources in your cluster, and on any errors that may have occurred.

## Welcome view ## Welcome view
When accessing Dashboard on an empty cluster, the welcome page is displayed. This page contains a link to this document as well as a button to deploy your first application. In addition, you can view which system applications are running by default in the `kube-system` [namespace](/docs/admin/namespaces/) of your cluster, for example the Dashboard itself.
