K8Studio: A Kubernetes IDE
K8Studio is a graphical Kubernetes IDE for managing clusters, workloads, RBAC, and Helm releases without memorizing kubectl commands. It targets developers and operators who want a visual layer over their clusters. This repo is V2, which is now in maintenance mode — the active project has moved to a separate org/repo.
The feature set is genuinely broad: interactive deployment topology, live node views via Kubernetes API event streaming, a schema-aware YAML editor with JSON Schema validation, and an RBAC manager that actually tries to make role assignment legible. The multicluster support and Helm manager cover the two biggest pain points people hit after basic kubectl familiarity. Inline base64 encode/decode for secrets is a small but useful touch.
This repo is a dead end — V2 is in maintenance mode and the real project has moved to a different GitHub org (K8Studio/K8studio). The directory tree here is nothing but screenshots and license files; there is no source code in this repository at all, so you cannot build, contribute, or audit what you're running. 920 stars with 30 forks and no source is a red flag for a desktop tool that gets kubeconfig access to your clusters. The README also leans heavily on screenshots over documentation, so it's hard to assess actual depth before installing.
