What is the Kubernetes YAML to Diagram tool?

This tool parses Kubernetes YAML manifests and generates interactive architecture diagrams. Visualize Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Ingress, and their relationships. Great for documentation, code reviews, and understanding complex clusters.

What Kubernetes resources are supported?

Supported resources include: Deployments, Services, Pods, ConfigMaps, Secrets, Ingress, PersistentVolumeClaims, ServiceAccounts, Namespaces, and more. Multi-document YAML files (with --- separators) are fully supported.

How do I use this tool for my K8s manifests?

Paste your Kubernetes YAML into the editor or use one of the example templates. Click 'Generate Diagram' to create an interactive flowchart showing all resources and their connections. Drag nodes to rearrange the layout.

Can I export the generated diagram?

Yes, diagrams can be exported as PNG images for documentation. The interactive canvas allows you to arrange nodes before exporting. Use the export button in the diagram toolbar.

Does this tool validate my Kubernetes YAML?

The tool parses YAML syntax and extracts Kubernetes resource definitions. While it validates YAML structure, it doesn't perform full Kubernetes API validation. Use kubectl --dry-run for complete validation.

Is my Kubernetes configuration data secure?

Absolutely. All parsing and diagram generation happens in your browser. Your YAML manifests, including any Secrets or ConfigMaps, are never sent to any server. The tool works completely offline.

How are resource relationships determined?

The tool analyzes label selectors, volume mounts, environment references, and service selectors to draw connections. For example, a Service with selector 'app: nginx' connects to Deployments with matching labels.

Can I visualize Helm chart templates?

Helm templates with Go templating ({{ }}) need to be rendered first using 'helm template'. Paste the rendered YAML output into this tool. Direct Helm template parsing is not supported.
