Architecture Visualization - Transforms Kubernetes manifests and live states into visual architecture diagrams as code.
Namespace Grouping - Organizes resource nodes into visual clusters based on Kubernetes namespaces or labels.
Cluster Resource Mapping - Maps out namespaces and resource dependencies to visualize logical boundaries and communication paths.
Diagram Generation - Generates architecture diagrams by templating Helm charts using specific values and version constraints.
Infrastructure Relationship Mapping - Converts structured Kubernetes resource definitions into a node-and-edge model to represent infrastructure dependencies.
Kubernetes Diagram Generation - Produces automated resource maps and network topology diagrams from declarative Kubernetes configurations.
Kubernetes Resource Mapping - Defines visual relationships between pods, services, and custom resources using labels and annotations.
Resource Relationship Mapping - Represents connections between resources using distinct visual edges for references, selectors, ownership, or communication.
Diagramming Engines - Converts Kubernetes manifest files into various image and vector formats using an automated diagramming engine.
Data-Driven Diagram Generators - Generates architecture diagrams from manifests or charts as part of automated CI/CD workflows.
Custom Resource Mappings - Defines visual representations for non-standard cluster resources through external configuration files.
Custom Resource Visual Modeling - Defines how non-standard Kubernetes resources appear in diagrams for a complete system overview.
Resource-to-Visual Mappings - Translates custom resource types into specific visual representations using a predefined mapping layer.
Documentation Automation - Automatically generates up-to-date architecture diagrams within CI/CD pipelines to synchronize documentation with code.
Chart Template Resolution - Processes Helm-style charts and value files into flat manifests before generating architectural diagrams.
Kubectl Plugins - Integrates with standard cluster management workflows by providing a kubectl command line plugin.
Visual Resource Clustering - Groups resources into visual clusters based on namespaces, labels, or annotations to represent logical boundaries.
