GUI for not local context

[bernardoforcillo]

Problem Description

I recently added my production configuration deployed on a external server to the local .kube/config. I can change the cluster context by clicking the menu in the notification area (on windows).

Proposed Solution

It will be a must to have feature a dashboard also for my production cluster, as now is only possible use the local cluster.

Additional Information

This is currently out of scope for the project, as Rancher Desktop primarily aims to provide local containers for development work, and there is still a lot to do to fill out the missing pieces (e.g. a corresponding container dashboard for users who don't use kubernetes).

That said, we have discussed extending the dashboard functionality to external clusters before, so we may still eventually work on it. I just want to manage the expectations: this is likely not going to become available in the near future.

It was a proposal of a future feature. I know is not the the main object, and i know there are a lot of basic feautures to add before this.
