How to keep kubernetes dashboard running

[mmourafiq]

What happened:

In order to access the k8s dashboard, the user must run:

aks browse --resource-group <VALUE> --name <VALUE>

But the dashboard timesout after a couple of minutes.

What you expected to happen:

I expect the dashboard to keep running until I stop the command.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Just start the dashboard using the command above.

Environment:

• Kubernetes version (use kubectl version):

Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"13", GitVersion:"v1.13.1", GitCommit:"eec55b9ba98609a46fee712359c7b5b365bdd920", GitTreeState:"clean", BuildDate:"2018-12-13T10:39:04Z", GoVersion:"go1.11.2", Compiler:"gc", Platform:"darwin/amd64"}

You can create your own service for the dashboard, rather than go through a proxy tunnel
I wrote a script that only opened it up for a single IP (your current public IP) using loadBalancerSourceRanges to make it more secure (this results in the NSG in Azure being configured) , but it's still pretty risky

It seems there is no parameter to control the timeout, and it is really a bad experience since I have to rerun the command several times in one demo.
