Microsoft releases in GA in December 2020, Kubernetes Resource View.
This view gives you the possibility to see:
- Namespaces on your cluster
- Workloads to see your deployments, replica, pods, etc.
- Services and ingresses to check services and ingress deployed on your cluster
- Storage to check PVC, PV and storage classes
- Configuration to check secrets and ConfigMap
On each section, you can filter per namespace to have a better view.
The first thing to do to have these views is to activate it by following steps on one of tabs.
After that, you must have the following permissions to be able to view resources:
- AKS access
- Kubernetes API (if you have Public IP restriction, your public IP must be allowed, otherwise, you will have an error)
- Kubernetes objects

Let’s delete it by selecting it and clicking on delete. Check the box to be able to click on delete:
From the portal, to create a new namespace, click on Add and paste the following code:

You can edit the yaml, directly from the portal:
So as you can see, if you are not a cmdline specialist, and you need a GUI, this tool will be very helpful for you, but also for your team, to start adopting AKS.
