Challenges

Information Overload

There is a lot of information that needs to be accessible to individuals that are working with kubernates. It can be very overwhelming the amount of information that is presented and how it should best be displayed.

Organize Information

Organizing and figuring out a way to display the information to the user in a clear manner is challenging. Understanding what information goes together meaning should be close to one another in the UI was key.

Once I understood which data/information went together and was able to organize the UI accordingly. The next task was to understand which data is/isn't necessary to be in sight of the user constantly and how to tuck it away if possible for the user.
