Naftis is a web-based dashboard for Istio that simplifies managing Istio tasks through customizable templates and real-time service diagnostics.
An awesome dashboard for Istio built with love.
Naftis is designed for DevOps and cloud security teams using Istio service mesh to monitor, manage, and automate Istio-related tasks efficiently. It enables users to customize task templates, execute and rollback tasks, and diagnose Istio services and pods, enhancing service mesh observability and operational control.
Naftis requires a Kubernetes environment with Istio 1.0 support and a MySQL database deployment. Users should ensure proper namespace creation and service readiness before accessing the dashboard. Default credentials are admin/admin, so changing passwords post-deployment is recommended for security. The tool is optimized for both bare metal and cloud Kubernetes clusters.
