K8Studio
Effortless GUI Kubernetes Management
Description
K8Studio is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool designed to streamline Kubernetes management and monitoring. It transforms complex cluster data into understandable visual formats, primarily through its innovative CloudMaps feature, which uses color coding and heatmaps to illustrate relationships and status. The platform aims to provide users with enhanced control and efficiency when managing their Kubernetes environments.
It supports integration with all major Kubernetes distributions, including those on AWS, GCP, Azure, and others like Rancher and OpenShift. K8Studio focuses on user privacy by not collecting data and offers various views like Grid View for tabular object display, Helm View for managing Helm repositories and charts, RBAC View for configuring permissions, and a Timeline for tracking object history. Additional functionalities include a cluster manager, quick editor for direct object manipulation, an integrated terminal, and a YAML editor.
