With Kanvas Designer you can draw shapes, lines, text, add custom styles, images and icons to represent the components and relationships of your Kubernetes clusters as you see fit. Kanvas supports freestyle design, meaning that you can customize the appearance and layout of your diagrams without any constraints. Kanvas also enables real-time collaboration, meaning that you can invite others to join your sessions and edit the diagrams together.

Using the shapes palette 🔗

Open the shapes tool in the dock to browse the shape libraries and drag a shape onto the canvas. See Adding shapes.

Whiteboarding in Kanvas (3:41) follows one late-night incident from page to postmortem on a single live design. Its page has chapters and a transcript.

The whiteboarding feature introduces versatile, freestyle drawing capabilities within Kanvas. Enabling the whiteboard feature augments your ability to diagram with a suite of predefined shapes, and pen and pencil annotation, allowing you full freedom of expression of your engineering diagrams.

At 2:47 AM, checkout latency is climbing and the architecture diagram cannot be trusted. Five, Mia, and Raj open the live checkout design in Kanvas and work the incident together on one canvas, using the whiteboarding tools that are on by default in every design. By morning, that same canvas is the incident record, the postmortem starting point, and the onboarding guide. (The incident and its telemetry are a demo scenario.)
