OpenShift 4.19 - Unified Design Web Console - New Features

Red Hat® OpenShift® は、既存のアプリケーションをモダナイズして、新しいクラウドネイティブ・アプリケーションの開発と提供をあらゆるインフラストラクチャで大規模に加速するハイブリッドクラウド・アプリケーション・プラットフォームです。

OpenShift 4.19 - Unified Design Web Console

OpenShift (OCP) 4.19 では、Web Console のデザインが変更され、更に使い易くなりました。

1.3.21. Web console

Starting with OpenShift Container Platform 4.19, the perspectives in the web console have unified to simplify navigation, reduce context switching, streamline tasks, and provide users with a more cohesive OpenShift Container Platform experience.

With this unified design, there is no longer a Developer perspective in the default view; however, all OpenShift Container Platform web console features are discoverable to all users. If you are not the cluster owner, you might need to request permission for certain features from the cluster owner. The Developer perspective can still be manually enabled if you prefer.

The Getting Started pane in the web console provides resources such as, a tour of the console, information on setting up your cluster, a quick start for enabling the Developer perspective, and links to explore new features and capabilities.

1.3.21.1. Patternfly 6 upgrade

The web console now uses Patternfly 6. Support for Patternfly 4 in the web console is no longer available.

This release also introduces the following updates to the web console. You can now do the following actions:

• Specify distinct console logos for both light and dark themes using the logos field in the .spec.customization.logos configuration, allowing for more comprehensive branding.
• Easily delete identity providers (IDPs) directly from the web console, streamlining authentication configuration without manual YAML file edits.
• Easily set the default StorageClass directly in the web console.
• Quickly find specific jobs in the web console by sorting the Created column by creation date and time.

ここでは、上記に記載されている following updates の内容を簡単にご紹介します。
