Understanding Interactive Terminal

The interactive terminal behaves in a fashion similar to similar to the behavior of the kubectl exec command, but web-based.

While using using the interactive terminal, understand that you can only open one session per container. Each session’s data is streamed via Meshery Broker (NATS) from MeshSync to Meshery Server / MeshMap. The GraphQL subscription between your web browser running MeshMap and Meshery Server provides isolation between other users who might be concurrently sharing an interactive terminal. Each connection established a unique session ID.
