        # Kubernetes-PlantUML

These are the PlantUML sprites, macros and stereotypes for creating PlantUML diagrams with the Kubernetes components.

The official Kubernetes Icons Set (where this work is based) can be found [here](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/icons)

This repo is heavily influenced by the awesome work from Ricardo Niepel on [Azure-PlantUML](https://github.com/RicardoNiepel/Azure-PlantUML)

## Getting Started

TL;DR - If you're familiar with PlantUML this is what you need:

```vim

' Kubernetes

!define KubernetesPuml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcasati/kubernetes-PlantUML/master/dist

' global definition

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Common.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Context.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Simplified.puml

' k8s specific components

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesPod.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesPsp.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesPv.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesPvc.puml

[...]

```

If you're starting with PlantUML, here's what you need:

  1. VS Code with the PlantUML extension ![PlantUML](https://github.com/dcasati/better-diagrams/blob/master/images/plantUML.png)

  1. [Graphviz](https://graphviz.gitlab.io)

  1. Copy one of the examples from: https://github.com/dcasati/kubernetes-PlantUML/tree/master/samples

I also have an introduction to PlantUML [here](https://github.com/dcasati/better-diagrams)

## Examples

A basic `hello world` example could look like this:

![kubernetes](media/hello-world.png)

This picture was rendered with the following code:

```vim

@startuml kubernetes

footer Kubernetes Plant-UML

scale max 1024 width

skinparam nodesep 10

skinparam ranksep 10

' Kubernetes

!define KubernetesPuml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcasati/kubernetes-PlantUML/master/dist

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Common.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Context.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Simplified.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesSvc.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesPod.puml

actor "User" as userAlias

left to right direction

' Kubernetes Components

Cluster_Boundary(cluster, "Kubernetes Cluster") {

    Namespace_Boundary(ns, "Web") {

        KubernetesSvc(svc, "service", "")

        KubernetesPod(pod1, "web-pod1", "")

        KubernetesPod(pod2, "web-pod2", "")

    }

}

Rel(userAlias,svc,"get HTTP/1.1 index.html", "1")

Rel(svc,pod1,"load Balances to Pods", "2")

Rel(svc,pod2,"load Balances to Pods", "2")

Rel_U(pod1, svc, "serves content", "3")

Rel(svc, userAlias, "return content to", "4")

@enduml

```

A more complete example would look like this picture:

![more complete example](media/kubernetes.png)

and the accompaining code:

```vim

@startuml kubernetes

footer Kubernetes Plant-UML

scale max 1024 width

skinparam nodesep 10

skinparam ranksep 10

' Kubernetes

!define KubernetesPuml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcasati/kubernetes-PlantUML/master/dist

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Common.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Context.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/kubernetes_Simplified.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesSvc.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesIng.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesPod.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesRs.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesDeploy.puml

!includeurl KubernetesPuml/OSS/KubernetesHpa.puml

actor "User" as userAlias

left to right direction

' Kubernetes Components

Cluster_Boundary(cluster, "Kubernetes Cluster") {

    Namespace_Boundary(ns, "Back End") {

        KubernetesIng(ingress, "your.domain.com", "")

        KubernetesSvc(svc, "service", "")

        KubernetesPod(pod1, "pod1", "")

        KubernetesPod(pod2, "pod2", "")

        KubernetesPod(pod3, "pod3", "")

        KubernetesRs(rs,"","")

        KubernetesDeploy(deploy,"deployment","")

        KubernetesHpa(hpa, "HPA", "")

    }

}

Rel(userAlias,ingress," ")

Rel(ingress,svc," ")

Rel(svc,pod1," ")

Rel(svc,pod2," ")

Rel(svc,pod3," ")

Rel_U(rs,pod1," ")

Rel_U(rs,pod2," ")

Rel_U(rs,pod3," ")

Rel_U(deploy,rs, " ")

Rel_U(hpa,deploy, " ")

```

## Using kubernetes-PlantUML with other PlantUML files

You can certainly mix and match the stencils from kubernetes-PlantUML with other PlantUML files. For instance, 

here is an example of using it with the Azure-PlantUML files to ilustrate this reference architecture ![microservices](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/microservices/aks)

![microsoervices-diagram](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/reference-architectures/microservices/_images/aks.png)

The equivalent of that in PlantUML would look like this:

![microservices-plantuml](media/microservices-azure-aks.png)

```vim

@startuml kubernetes

footer Kubernetes Plant-UML

scale max 1024 width

skinparam nodesep 10

skinparam ranksep 10

## Contributing

I've built this on a necessity that I have for making better diagrams when Kubernetes is part of the solution. This is based on a community effort 

and as such this should belong to the Kubernetes community. Feel free to fork and to submit PRs.

## Reference

None of the work here would be possible without the foundation from Ricardo Niepel, PlantUML and the C4 Model
