Overview

The Alauda Container Platform web console provides a graphical user interface to visualize your project data and perform administrative, management, and troubleshooting tasks. The web console is designed to enhance user experience by organizing platform functionality into distinct perspectives that cater to different user roles and workflows.

Portal Page

Upon logging into the web console, you are directed to the Portal page by default. The Portal page displays all available view cards supported by the web console. These cards serve as entry points to different functional areas of the platform.

View Switching

You can switch between different views using the view switcher located in the upper-left corner of the web console. This allows for seamless navigation between different functional contexts within the platform.
