# How to update docs for new kubernetes features
|
|
|
|
This document describes things to consider when updating Kubernetes docs for new features or changes to existing features (including removing features).
|
|
|
|
## Who should read this doc?
|
|
|
|
Anyone making user facing changes to kubernetes. This is especially important for Api changes or anything impacting the getting started experience.
|
|
|
|
## What docs changes are needed when adding or updating a feature in kubernetes?
|
|
|
|
### When making Api changes
|
|
|
|
*e.g. adding Deployments*
|
|
* Always make sure docs for downstream effects are updated *(PetSet -> PVC, Deployment -> ReplicationController)*
|
|
* Add or update the corresponding *[Glossary](http://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/)* item
|
|
* Verify the guides / walkthroughs do not require any changes:
|
|
* **If your change will be recommended over the approaches shown in these guides, then they must be updated to reflect your change**
|
|
* [Hello Node](http://kubernetes.io/docs/hellonode/)
|
|
* [K8s101](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/walkthrough/)
|
|
* [K8S201](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/walkthrough/k8s201/)
|
|
* [Guest-book](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/release-1.2/examples/guestbook)
|
|
* [Thorough-walkthrough](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/)
|
|
* Verify the [landing page examples](http://kubernetes.io/docs/samples/) do not require any changes (those under "Recently updated samples")
|
|
* **If your change will be recommended over the approaches shown in the "Updated" examples, then they must be updated to reflect your change**
|
|
* If you are aware that your change will be recommended over the approaches shown in non-"Updated" examples, create an Issue
|
|
* Verify the collection of docs under the "Guides" section do not require updates (may need to use grep for this until are docs are more organized)
|
|
|
|
### When making Tools changes
|
|
|
|
*e.g. updating kube-dash or kubectl*
|
|
* If changing kubectl, verify the guides / walkthroughs do not require any changes:
|
|
* **If your change will be recommended over the approaches shown in these guides, then they must be updated to reflect your change**
|
|
* [Hello Node](http://kubernetes.io/docs/hellonode/)
|
|
* [K8s101](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/walkthrough/)
|
|
* [K8S201](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/walkthrough/k8s201/)
|
|
* [Guest-book](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/release-1.2/examples/guestbook)
|
|
* [Thorough-walkthrough](http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/)
|
|
* If updating an existing tool
|
|
* Search for any docs about the tool and update them
|
|
* If adding a new tool for end users
|
|
* Add a new page under [Guides](http://kubernetes.io/docs/)
|
|
* **If removing a tool (kube-ui), make sure documentation that references it is updated appropriately!**
|
|
|
|
### When making cluster setup changes
|
|
|
|
*e.g. adding Multi-AZ support*
|
|
* Update the relevant [Administering Clusters](http://kubernetes.io/docs/) pages
|
|
|
|
### When making Kubernetes binary changes
|
|
|
|
*e.g. adding a flag, changing Pod GC behavior, etc*
|
|
* Add or update a page under [Configuring Kubernetes](http://kubernetes.io/docs/)
|
|
|
|
## Where do the docs live?
|
|
|
|
1. Most external user facing docs live in the [kubernetes/docs](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.github.io) repo
|
|
* Also see the *[general instructions](http://kubernetes.io/editdocs/)* for making changes to the docs website
|
|
2. Internal design and development docs live in the [kubernetes/kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes) repo
|
|
|
|
## Who should help review docs changes?
|
|
|
|
* cc *@kubernetes/docs*
|
|
* Changes to [kubernetes/docs](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.github.io) repo must have both a Technical Review and a Docs Review
|
|
|
|
## Tips for writing new docs
|
|
|
|
* Try to keep new docs small and focused
|
|
* Document pre-requisites (if they exist)
|
|
* Document what concepts will be covered in the document
|
|
* Include screen shots or pictures in documents for GUIs
|
|
* *TODO once we have a standard widget set we are happy with* - include diagrams to help describe complex ideas (not required yet)
