Kubernetes Graphing Group

The Kubernetes Graphing Group formed out of a desire to make the Kubernetes documentation more easily accessible. We aim to establish conistency by developing graphical guidelines, to visualize concepts by constructing architecture diagrams, and to incorporate these diagrams and images into the open source documentation.

Vision

Facilitate the Kubernetes learning experience by making concepts easier to understand in the Kubernetes body of knowledge.

Mission

Make a high value and high exposure contribution to the Kuberenetes open source documentation set by creating a visual language for concept diagrams.
