Run modes

Your machine, or one shared cluster.

Local mode is the supported product. Cluster mode uses the same binary to serve one cluster to a team and is in preview.

Supported

Your machine

Run one binary in a browser tab or desktop window. It reads your kubeconfigs in place and can keep several clusters open at once.

Preview

One shared cluster

Run the same binary from its OCI Helm chart. A team signs in through OIDC or an authenticated proxy and works against that cluster.
