Headlamp📜

Overview📜

Headlamp is an optional Kubernetes web interface. Big Bang integrates its package with the platform ingress, identity, policy, and monitoring capabilities.

Big Bang Integration📜

Configure the package under packages.headlamp when using packageConfiguration.version: v1. For Big Bang 3.x configurations that have not enabled the unified package contract, the legacy path is addons.headlamp.

The integration:

  • Deploys Headlamp into the headlamp namespace.
  • Exposes the application through the selected Big Bang Istio gateway.
  • Supports optional OIDC SSO and creates the required client Secret when credentials are supplied.
  • Applies common Big Bang network-policy, authorization-policy, monitoring, and test settings.

Headlamp is disabled by default. Review its RBAC configuration before enabling it because the permissions granted to Headlamp determine what authenticated users can view or change in the cluster.

Use the generated Values Reference for the exact Big Bang configuration contract. Use the Headlamp package repository for packaged chart values, implementation details, and its changelog.
