New Kubernetes Dark Mode // Caleb Woodbine

Sometimes Kubernetes's light mode can be straining on the eyes.

Let's take a look to see how the new addition of a dark mode in Kubernetes 1.21 will reduce your eye strain and potentially mean for a better sleep.

When I'm deploying all of the Kubes, I know that I like to be able to focus really well.

How to enable

Let's get it set up:

ii. now in the Preferences menu, select Theme variant

iii. choose the Dark option

Important to note:

just like usual, commands such as kubectl get pods -A will still work the same.
there is no need to reconfigure the APIServer or kubelets

With that all done, you can now SAFELY enjoy the new dark mode.

Special thanks to sig-darkmode!

There is no option available, but expected to be implemented in Kubernetes 2.0
