@bryk: Tech Review LGTM, don't think I have access to edit labels though :)

Dashboard (the web-based user interface of Kubernetes) allows you to deploy containerized applications to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot them, and manage the cluster and its resources itself. You can use it for getting an overview of applications running on the cluster, as well as for creating or modifying individual Kubernetes resources and workloads, such as Daemon sets, Pet sets, Replica sets, Jobs, Replication controllers and corresponding Services, or Pods.

This PR needs to target the release-1.5 branch to avoid being prematurely merged before the 1.5 launch. Please retarget.

"Them" pronoun is ambiguous as used. Actually, all of the pronouns in the sentence are.

"Dashboard is a web-based Kubernetes user interface. You can use Dashboard to deploy containerized applications to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot your containerized application, and manage the cluster itself along with its attendant resources. You can use Dashboard to get an overview of applications running on your cluster, as well as for creating or modifying individual Kubernetes resources (such as Deployments, Jobs, DaemonSets, etc)."

Done. Applied your suggestion.


Dashboard also provides information on the state of Pods, Replication controllers, etc. and on any errors that might have occurred. You can inspect and manage the Kubernetes resources, as well as your deployed containerized applications. You can also change the number of replicated Pods, delete Pods, and deploy new applications using a deploy wizard.

"Dashboard also provides information on the state of Kubernetes resources in your cluster, and on any errors that may have occurred."

The second sentence is unnecessary (repeats information from the first paragraph, but slightly reworded).

The last sentence needs to move to the end of the previous paragraph.

Accessing the Dashboard UI

The Dashboard UI lives in the `kube-system` [namespace](/docs/admin/namespaces/), but shows all resources from all namespaces in your environment.

If you find that you are not able to access Dashboard, you can install and open the latest stable release by running the following command:
### Command line proxy

Try not to nest headers underneath each other; that usually means the document has structural problems.

In this case, add an introductory sentence: "There are multiple ways you can access the Dashboard UI; either by using the kubectl command-line interface, or by accessing the Kubernetes master apiserver using your web browser."

When accessing Dashboard on an empty cluster for the first time, the Welcome page is displayed. This page contains a link to this document as well as a button to deploy your first application. In addition, you can view which system applications are running by **default** in the `kube-system` [namespace](/docs/admin/namespaces/) of your cluster, for example monitoring applications such as Heapster.

Workloads are categorized as follows:
#### Workloads
Entry point view that shows all applications running in the selected namespace. The view lists applications by workload kind (e.g., Deployments, Replica Sets, Stateful Sets, etc.) and each workload kind can be viewed separately. The lists summarize actionable information about the workloads, such as the number of ready pods for a Replica Set or current memory usage for a Pod.

I think we typically keep ReplicaSet and StatefulSet as one word, since it's an API object.

Hmm... Does this apply to all objects? How about Horizontal Pod Autoscalers? Persistent Volume Claims?

I've definitely seen PersistentVolume and PersistentVolumeClaim (though usually abbreviated to PVC).

Thanks for getting to that. I think this one can probably be merged; the only other comment was more of a quibble.
