Polystack Dashboard

The Polystack Dashboard is a browser-based interface for centralized management of all cloud resources across Compute, Storage, Networking, Identity, and more. Powered by the Skyline platform, it provides a modern, high-performance UI with integrated monitoring, role-based access control, and real-time resource management.

The Dashboard is included with Ironcore, powered by VM2Cloud. Access it at https://connect.<your-domain> after deployment.

Architecture

The Dashboard communicates through the Skyline API server, which proxies requests to service APIs. All actions enforce the same RBAC rules as CLI and direct API calls.

Skyline Console	React-based single-page application served by Nginx
Skyline API Server	FastAPI backend handling authentication, RBAC, and API proxying
Session Management	JWT-based session cookies with configurable expiration
