Kubernetes Visualizer

The demo application helps you visualize what is happening in your Kubernetes cluster by showing you where all of your workloads are being run. This both helps with understanding kubernetes, as well as visually demonstrating how its' scheduler works.

Running the Demo

The demo application is based off of NodeJS, so you'll need NodeJS at least 0.10.30. You'll also need the following npm modules:

• socket.io
• cli
• express

You can run the install_packages.sh script to install these if you already have node and npm installed, or you can install them manually.

Configuring the demo

Configuration options are passed to the demo via the command lines. The required options are the url of the Kubernetes server, and the number of minions in the cluster. You can pass this information in directly, or you can run the start_server.sh -- provided you edit it and enter in the path to your checkout of the Kubernetes repository.
