BOOM! SLASH! SPARKLE!

ZENITH

Cloud Manager

Your Kubernetes cluster, visualized as manga panels. Every node is a character. Every event is a story.

CHAPTER 01

THE STORY

Three steps from cluster to manga

PANEL 01

CONNECT

ZENITH reads your cluster state via kubeconfig. Nodes, pods, services, deployments, events. Or use demo mode for a test drive.

$ zenith render --kubeconfig ~/.kube/config $ zenith demo --scenario scaling
Reading cluster state...
PANEL 02

TRANSFORM

The topology builder maps relationships between nodes, pods, and services. It detects scaling events and calculates resource usage.

Node ─┬─> Pod (Running) [SPARKLE] ├─> Pod (Pending) [SPEED] └─> Pod (Failed) [ALERT]
Topology built!
PANEL 03

RENDER

Each node becomes a manga panel. Speech bubbles show pod status. Visual effects trigger on events. Export as PNG, JPG, or GIF.

FEATURES

Everything your cluster needs to become a manga

🎨

MANGA GRID

Dynamic layouts: 2x3, 3x3, or auto-sized grids. Each Kubernetes node gets its own panel with character art and status indicators.

+------+------+------+ | master | work | work | | node | 01 | 02 | +------+------+------+

💬

SPEECH BUBBLES

Pod status messages appear in manga-style speech bubbles. Healthy pods get white bubbles. Failed pods get red alert bubbles.

VISUAL EFFECTS

BOOM for scale-ups. SLASH for deployments. SPARKLE for healthy nodes. ALERT for failures. Speed lines for network traffic.

BOOM! SLASH! (+1 pod) (deployed) SPARKLE! ALERT! (ok) (failed)

📜

TIMELINE STRIP

Comic-strip timeline of cluster events. Sequential panels with timestamps and narration boxes. Export as image sequence or single strip.

LIVE WATCH

Watch your cluster in real-time. New frames render at configurable intervals. Track scaling events as they happen.

DEMO MODE

No cluster? No problem. Three pre-built scenarios: normal operations, scaling event, and deployment rollout. Works offline.

$ zenith demo --scenario scaling $ zenith demo --scenario deploy $ zenith demo --scenario normal (no kubeconfig needed!)

No cluster? Try Demo Mode!

ZENITH ships with three pre-built scenarios that simulate real cluster behavior. No kubeconfig needed, works completely offline.
