<p>There seems be be mixed information and I couldn't find any official
source to confirm this.</p>
<p>From the kubernetes
<a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-1.12.md" rel="nofollow noreferrer">changelog</a>,
it seems that cAdvisor web UI which has been available via kubelet has been deprecated:</p>
<pre><code>The formerly publicly-available cAdvisor web UI that the kubelet started using --cadvisor-port has been entirely removed in 1.12. The recommended way to run cAdvisor if you still need it, is via a DaemonSet.
</code></pre>
<p>But this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/60190769/1651941">Stackoverflow answer</a> indicates that UI itself has been deprecated:</p>
<pre><code>Despite its UI has been deprecated it is still possible to monitor your containers via Prometheus.
</code></pre>
<p>From looking at the official <a href="https://github.com/google/cadvisor/blob/master/docs/web.md" rel="nofollow noreferrer">documentation</a>, I find no such information.</p>
<p>So my questions is:</p>
<ul>
<li>Has the cAdvisor Web UI itself has been deprecated ? (I'm aware that the interface via kubelet option --cadvisor-port is deprecated. But the option being deprecated is different than if the Web UI itself is deprecated)</li>
<li>If it is deprecated, is there any offical source on this ?</li>
</ul>

<p>It doesn't look like web ui itself is deprecated.</p>
<p>It's only been removed from kubelet, that's all. It means that the web ui won't be a part of a kubelet anymore.</p>
<p>You can still use it if you want by deploying cAdvisor as separate application.</p>
