Version 0.3.5

Metrics-API informer

This minor release introduces an informer for the metrics-api types. This change should reduce api server chatter by caching metrics data and allowing ktop to perform better when clusters have large number of workload components.

Launching ktop via containers

The GitHub Action has been update to release ktop as an OCI container at ghcr.io/vladimirvivien/ktop. You can now run ktop as follows:

export KUBECONFIG=/home/user/.kube/config
docker run --network=host --rm --platform="linux/arm64" -it -v $KUBECONFIG:/config -e KUBECONFIG=/config -e TERM=xterm-256color ghcr.io/vladimirvivien/ktop:latest

The reboot

This version is a reboot of the project with simpler, but more effective, conceptual model of what the top program should be and how it should work. This revision of the project provides the followings:

• Insightful summary of cluster resource metrics
• Focus on nodes and pods metrics
• Ability to work with or without a metrics-server deployed
• Displays nodes and pods usage metrics when a Metrics Server is found
• Uses your existing cluster configuration to connect to a cluster's API server

The updated UI

With this release, the newly updated UI displays three main sections including:

• A cluster summary panel with metrics about workload components
• A node panel that displays node metrics
• A pod panel that shows metrics for running pods

Additionally, ktop can properly display metrics for specific namespace or all accessible namespaces.

Getting started
