Description

It would be nice if we can automatically generate Kubernetes architecture diagrams with [Kubernetes icons set](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/icons) from an actual Kubernetes deployment. To discuss this more in detail, I’ve implemented PoC code in https://github.com/mkimuram/k8sviz.

Any feedback is welcomed, but I expect feedback especially on:
- Whether we should have this kind of tools, in the first place,
- What kind of diagrams are needed to be generated,
- In which repo we should maintain this kind of tools,
- Should we rewrite the tool with a more maintainable programing language.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the PoC at https://github.com/mkimuram/k8sviz and the Kubernetes icons set linked in the issue. First clarify whether the community wants this tool, which diagrams it should generate, where it should be maintained, and which language is appropriate; the work is complete when those scope and ownership questions have an agreed decision.
