Urgent Appeal for the Reinstatement of the Kubernetes Dashboard

Dear DigitalOcean Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to share my recent experience with your platform, which has significantly impacted my workflow and perception of DigitalOcean's service quality.
As a loyal customer, I've always admired DigitalOcean for its commitment to user-friendliness and innovation, positioning itself as the "most user intuitive cloud platform." It's precisely this reputation that makes it so surprising and disappointing to see the removal of the one-click installation feature.
This feature was not just a convenience; it was a cornerstone of my operational efficiency, enabling me to monitor my deployments and cluster health directly. Its absence now necessitates a cumbersome workaround, involving port forwarding and other adjustments, which is far from the seamless experience I've come to expect from DigitalOcean.
I understand that maintaining software and features can be challenging, especially when it comes to version control and ensuring compatibility. However, considering DigitalOcean's stature and resources as a leading cloud services provider, I am confident that a solution that does not compromise user experience is within reach.
The decision to remove this feature has not only added complexity to my workflow but has also prompted me to reconsider the value proposition of staying with DigitalOcean. This is not a step I take lightly, given my otherwise positive experience with your platform.
I earnestly request that you reconsider the removal of the one-click installation feature. Reinstating it would not only alleviate the operational hurdles many of us now face but also reaffirm DigitalOcean's commitment to delivering the best possible user experience.
Thank you for considering my feedback. I am hopeful for a resolution that reinforces why I chose DigitalOcean as my cloud platform of choice.
Warm regards.
