I'm a one-person tech writing team documenting a Kubernetes platform. We have multiple documentation repositories. Customer requirements outgrew my GitHub Pages publishing solution, so management allocated a developer to research and implement something new. He created a user-friendly toolchain with MkDocs, Docker, and GitHub Actions that renders a documentation image from all of our repositories and deploys it to all of our Kubernetes platforms.

Takeaways

Learn about the architecture of our solution so you can replicate it for your organization.

Prior knowledge

Folks with prior knowledge of the Docs as Code methodology will benefit most from this talk.

Suitable for developers who are changing careers to become technical writers and technical writers who are expanding their knowledge.
