cloud-native-isometric-icons's Introduction

Cloud Native isometric icons

Talking about Cloud Native and Continous delevery concepts can be challenging when the time come to talk to non-technical people. We beleive that using isometry helps to handle the various dimensions of distributed systems, espectially those running in Kubernetes.

History & Goals

This project started when we realized how boring it is to represent a fully-featured microservices application like Spinnaker. Espcially when it comes to display how it looks like when Deployed using the Helm charts. The number of objects and customisation is so high that diagrams was looking like an indigestible spaghetti plate.

Isometry offers this opportunity to represent the various objects in volumes and gain a better understanting impact when promotting Cloud Native projects and the assiociated Devops spirit.

The project started using Inkscape, but we switched to Affinity Designer as we discovered that GPU acceleration was the key to resolve the performance issues we faced when building complex diagrams.

Credits and Inspiration

Most of the icons are originals and crafted night after night. However we wanted also wants to give credits to awsome projects we crossed when we were searching for inspirations.
