Browse the Kubernetes Dashboard. 

http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubernetes-dashboard/services/https:kubernetes-dashboard:/proxy/#/login

 

The first time, need to authenticate with a token. Run the following command to show all Kubernetes secrets 

kubectl -n kubernetes-dashboard get secret

It shows all the secrets of the cluster. Need to retrieve the name of the secret that has a name starting with deployment-controller-token

To show the specified secret details 

kubectl -n kube-system describe secret deployment-controller-token-r5jps

Copy the token and paste it to sign the Kubernetes Dashboard. 

As you can see, there is only one instance of the pod (frontendmvc-pod)
