3.1.9
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-caConfigMaps 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.
