📚 karmada dashboard will release v0.4.0, which will work with karmada v1.18.0 （6.12 ~ 6.16）
Features that can be added before the v0.4.0 release deadline
Feature 1: GlobalControl for karmada dashboard
It's also LFX2026 term1 project cc @SunsetB612 . Karmada Dashboard manages resources at the atomic level but lacks visual representation of resource relationships. Users cannot easily trace the propagation path from ResourceTemplate → PropagationPolicy → ResourceBindings -> Works → cluster distribution.
We propose adding topology visualization for core resources to improve usability for all users, regardless of expertise level.
Feature 2: OIDC Integration
Karmada Dashboard currently supports only a basic Bearer token login model. Users must manually obtain and paste a JWT (typically a Kubernetes ServiceAccount token) to sign in. This approach does not fit enterprise environments, where integration with an existing identity system is usually required.
Dex is a federated OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider (IdP). It acts as a unified entry point to upstream identity providers and issues OIDC ID tokens on their behalf. This allows applications to integrate with different enterprise identity systems through one standardized interface.
We propose to integrate Dex as the OIDC provider for Karmada Dashboard, so enterprise users can log in with existing organizational accounts via the standard OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow.
Feature 3: Chaos
Features unlikely to start before the v0.4.0 release deadline but are likely to be pursued in the future
currently the feature is still under the process of discussion, more effort to push the feature forward.
