The K2cloud August 2026 Release

Simplified Fabric Release Management in K2cloud - K2cloud now provides a simpler, self-service way to access and deploy available K2view Fabric releases.

New Fabric releases are automatically made available in the Projects page for Space Profile configuration, eliminating the need to coordinate with K2view to make each new version available. Customers can select an available release and pull the corresponding image into their own container registry using their configured site-specific image location.

Release information—including version status, release date, image location, and a link to the release notes—is available directly from the Fabric Image selection.

For complete details, refer to the K2cloud August 2026 Release Notes.

The Fabric 8.5.0 Official Release

We are excited to announce the release of Fabric 8.5.0. The release highlights are:

  • Studio AI — an embedded, extensible AI assistant that builds, deploys, tests, and troubleshoots Fabric artifacts using specialized skills, K2View's AskMe knowledge base, and configurable LLM providers. Enabled through the Studio AI Core Artifacts extension.
  • Catalog has several major enhancements, including:
    • Large Catalog Navigation — large schemas are displayed in a filterable dataset list, improving navigation and browser performance.
    • OpenAPI Support — OpenAPI 3.0 and 3.1 interfaces can now be discovered and cataloged using the new OpenApiToMetadata actor.
    • Logical Relations — new Reference by Name Comparison and Reference by LLM plugins identify potential relationships between datasets, including those without primary keys.
  • Affinity Management — centrally define and maintain node affinities across the cluster through the Admin UI or set_global affinity_rules command.
  • API Key Authentication — introduces three explicit key types: high-entropy Access keys, Legacy keys, and Signing JWT keys for client-signed, short-lived JWTs.
  • Authenticate API Mechanism — /authenticate now distinguishes end-user sessions from server-to-server API calls and improves audit attribution for users and API Keys.
