KubeDiagrams 0.7.0 is out!

# KubeDiagrams 0.7.0 is out! ## What started the discussion [**KubeDiagrams**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams) 0.7.0 is out! [**KubeDiagrams**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams), an open source Apache 2.0 License project hosted on GitHub, is a tool to generate Kubernetes architecture diagrams from Kubernetes manifest files, kustomization files, Helm charts, helmfile descriptors, and actual cluster state. Compared to [**existing tools**](https://github.com/philippemerle/Awesome-Kubernetes-Architecture-Diagrams), the main originalities of **KubeDiagrams** are the support of: * [**most of all Kubernetes built-in resources**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#kubernetes-built-in-resources), * [**any Kubernetes custom resources**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#kubernetes-custom-resources), * [**customizable resource clustering**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#kubernetes-resources-clustering), * [**any Kubernetes resource relationships**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#kubernetes-resource-relationships), * [**declarative custom diagrams**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#declarative-custom-diagrams), * [**an interactive diagram viewer**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#kubediagrams-interactive-viewer), * [**a modern web application**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#kubediagrams-webapp),\* [**a very large set of examples**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#examples). This new release provides [some improvements](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams/releases/tag/v0.7.0) and is available as a [Python package in PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/KubeDiagrams), a [container image in DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/philippemerle/kubediagrams), a `kubectl` plugin, a Nix flake, and a GitHub Action. Read [**Real-World Use Cases**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#real-world-use-cases) and [**What do they say about it**](https://github.com/philippemerle/KubeDiagrams#what-do-they-say-about-it) to discover how **KubeDiagrams** is really used and appreciated. An **Online KubeDiagrams Service** is freely available at [**https://kubediagrams.lille.inria.fr/**](https://kubediagrams.lille.inria.fr/). Try it on your own Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, helmfiles, and actual cluster state! ## What stood out in the comments ### Discussion point 1 The CRD support is the big differentiator here. Most diagram tools only handle built-in resources which is useless for any real cluster running Istio, Argo, or cert-manager. The kubectl plugin option is also nice for quick ad-hoc diagrams. ### Discussion point 2 The Kubernetes communauty designed the Kubernetes Icons Set (https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/icons) to standardize Kubernetes architecture diagrams for presentation. Most diagram tools including KubeDiagrams reuse these standardized icons as shown in https://github.com/philippemerle/Awesome-Kubernetes-Architecture-Diagrams. Perhaps you should try to convince the Kubernetes communauty to redesign these resource icons ;-) ### Discussion point 3 Im sorry, but why those icons are so ugly? Can we just re-generate kube resource icons via some ai tooling to make it beautiful.. ## Thread snapshot - Original subreddit: r/kubernetes - Original author: u/Philippe_Merle - Reddit score: 101 - Comment count: 7 - Original thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/kubernetes/comments/1r823fo/kubediagrams_070_is_out/
