Feature Request: Add Description Field and Custom Metadata to Cluster Detail View in Everest UI #854

Description

@mcpomm

Hi,

I’d like to suggest a feature that would improve usability, especially for teams managing many clusters:

Feature Request

A “Description” field on the cluster creation/edit forms and cluster detail view.

  • This could allow users to enter a free-form description or purpose for the cluster (e.g., “Used for staging e-commerce backend”, “Test cluster for John”, etc.).
  • Ideally editable after creation.

Rendering custom annotations or labels from the Kubernetes Custom Resource metadata in the UI.

  • Labels like team=payments, environment=prod or annotations like description: "Cluster for staging Whatever API" could be useful for sorting and filtering clusters.
  • Being able to see them in both the cluster list and detail views would help a lot in multi-cluster setups.

Why It’s Useful

  • Adds human context to otherwise technical cluster entries.
  • Helps teams track ownership, purpose, and lifecycle of clusters.
  • Makes cluster list views more informative at a glance.
  • Helps prevent confusion or mismanagement in environments with many clusters.

Thank you.
