Overview

Kronic is an innovative Kubernetes CronJob admin UI designed for users seeking an easy-to-navigate dashboard to manage their CronJobs efficiently. Currently in its early alpha stage, Kronic is a valuable tool for developers and stakeholders looking to monitor the status of jobs, trigger tasks on demand, or create new one-off jobs based on existing definitions. With its minimalist design and straightforward functionality, Kronic aims to simplify the management of CronJobs in Kubernetes clusters.

While Kronic brings a wealth of organizational capabilities to managing CronJobs, users are advised to approach its use with caution due to its alpha status.
