Detect Kubernetes in any GitHub repo

Kubernetes is the container orchestration platform for deploying, scaling and managing containerised workloads across clusters.

Why show Kubernetes on your README

Infrastructure is the most under-documented part of most stacks; k8s/ folders, *.k8s.yaml manifests and kustomization files are picked up from the file tree.

How Kubernetes is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags Kubernetes when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: /\.k8s\.ya?ml$/, /^kustomization\.ya?ml$/, k8s, kubernetes, k8s.yaml, k8s.yml

Kubernetes README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

![Kubernetes](https://img.shields.io/badge/Kubernetes-326CE5?style=for-the-badge&logo=kubernetes&logoColor=white)

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so Kubernetes (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
