By Chris Metz and Tim Bannister Topics covered in this blog. Live editor link: Topics Covered Why are diagrams useful for documentation? Friendly landing spot. Greeting readers with a page full of text can be intimidating to those new to Kubernetes, software engineering and tech writing. Faster grasp of concepts. A diagram can serve as a visual roadmap for details covered in the accompanying text. Better retention. Humans remember pictures better than words.| www.kubernetes.dev
By Chris Short Kubernetes contributors aren’t people in capes or part of some secret society. How to start committing to the GitHub repos that make up the project is well documented, yet it remains intimidating for many. A few years ago, I spoke at an event and jokingly said, “Kubernetes is just a bunch of APIs and YAML… I’m a contributor; you don’t believe me?” After that talk, someone pulled me aside and asked if I was the Kubernetes contributor.| www.kubernetes.dev
End-to-end (E2E) testing in Kubernetes is how the project validates functionality with real clusters. Contributors sooner or later encounter it when asked to write E2E tests for new features or to help with debugging test failures. Cluster admins or vendors might run the conformance tests, a subset of all tests in the E2E test suite. The underlying E2E framework for writing these E2E tests has been around for a long time.| www.kubernetes.dev
