K8Studio 3.1.9

Version 3.1.9
A release focused on a more flexible AI Copilot, visual Kubernetes Topology, and a new Events Timeline for understanding what is happening inside a cluster faster.

Release date: June 28, 2026

Highlights

  • Copilot can now work with more AI providers, including local CLI-based assistants and API-key based providers.
  • Copilot provider and model selection is easier to manage from settings and can be changed without closing the Copilot window.
  • New Topology views help you see how a selected Kubernetes object connects to related workloads, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, storage, RBAC, and Nodes.
  • New Events Timeline turns Kubernetes Events into a visual, searchable history grouped by resource hierarchy.
  • Warnings and failures are easier to spot with clearer event markers, density signals, and compact counts.
  • Timeline and Topology are available for Professional and trial users.

AI Copilot

  • Choose from available AI providers in one compact settings list.
  • Use installed CLI-based assistants such as Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, and Ollama when they are available on your machine.
  • Configure OpenAI and Claude with API keys when you prefer a hosted provider.
  • Switch provider and model directly from Copilot without closing the current conversation.
  • Provider icons, default selection, unavailable states, and setup guidance are clearer and easier to scan.
  • When a provider needs to be installed or logged in, K8Studio now gives clearer setup feedback.

Topology

  • Resource details now include a Topology tab for visually exploring related Kubernetes objects.
  • See common relationships across workloads, Pods, Services, Ingresses, ConfigMaps, Secrets, ServiceAccounts, PVCs, PVs, StorageClasses, HPAs, PDBs, NetworkPolicies, RBAC bindings, and Nodes.
  • Pan, zoom, and center the diagram while keeping the selected object easy to find.
  • Kubernetes object icons and animated connected arrows make relationships easier to follow.
  • Shared infrastructure objects such as kube-root-ca ConfigMaps or busy Nodes stay focused unless you select them directly.
  • Topology keeps noisy clusters readable by focusing the diagram on the objects most relevant to the selected resource.

Events Timeline

  • Added a new Kubernetes Events Timeline for exploring cluster events visually.
  • Events are grouped by resource hierarchy so App, Deployment, ReplicaSet, Pod, Node, Job, and CronJob activity is easier to scan.
  • Instant events render as compact diamonds while duration events render as real time spans, making warnings, BackOff loops, FailedMounts, scheduling, image pulls, and lifecycle activity easier to distinguish.
  • Added density strip, now-line, readable time axis, compact event counts, namespace/kind/severity filters, search, time-range chips, tooltips, collapsible rows, per-row sparklines, and a resizable resource column.
  • Timeline supports dark and light themes, horizontal panning, warning glow states, readable resource names, and namespace labels under resource names.
  • Busy clusters remain easier to navigate because dense event streams are summarized instead of overwhelming the screen.

Polish and Plans

  • Timeline and Topology are available on Professional plans and during trials.
  • Warning and failure events are now easier to identify at a glance.
  • Timeline controls use less vertical space, leaving more room for the event lanes.
  • Long resource names and namespaces are easier to read in the timeline resource column.
  • Timeline panning and resource-column resizing feel smoother during day-to-day investigation.
