## From the publisher

Headlamp is an open-source, extensible Kubernetes SIG UI project designed to let you explore, manage, and debug cluster resources directly from a browser. Cluster API (CAPI) is a Kubernetes sub-project that brings declarative, Kubernetes-style APIs to cluster lifecycle management. It lets platform teams provision, upgrade, and manage the lifecycle of Kubernetes clusters using standard Kubernetes objects stored and reconciled in a management cluster. Managing Cluster API resources has historically required raw kubectl commands and deep familiarity with ownership hierarchies. The Headlamp Cluster API plugin brings visual clarity, faster debugging, and simplified operations for platform teams, directly inside Headlamp.
