  Hey Ian, Author here. I’ve used Excalidraw and downloaded an external library with the k8s icons. Also played around with non-default colors to help with info hierarchy. Hope that helps! If you need further info, my Twitter account is linked at the bottom of the post. Feel free to DM me there.

  Am I the only one who dislikes these hand drawn diagrams? At least the text parts of it. Pod looks like Pool, watch* looks like watcher and rewrite looks like rent. Look at the diagrams with both print as well as hand drawn text next to each other and tell me which one is easier to scan. Objectively, there is no argument against print text being superior to hand written in every way from legibility, density and universality. If one only happened to have a real hand drawn diagram, you can of course excuse any lack of readability, but to go out of your way and intentionally degrade digital content to the level of hand drawn should be inexcusable. This is purely style over substance and that should have no place in technical content.
