Product Version(s):
Calico Open Source vNext (master / next release only — the change ships with projectcalico/calico#13436)

Issue:
projectcalico/calico#13436 and tigera/operator#5140 (both merged): Whisker now serves HTTPS on port 8443 instead of HTTP on 8081.

DOCS review:

  • A member of the docs team has approved this change.

Additional information:
Updates the two pages in the latest (next) docs tree that carry Whisker port-forward instructions:

  • calico/observability/view-flow-logs.mdx
  • calico/getting-started/kubernetes/quickstart.mdx

Changes: the port-forward command moves to 8443:8443, the URL becomes https://localhost:8443, and a note explains the self-signed certificate warning. Versioned docs are untouched — released versions still serve HTTP on 8081.
