/retitle [WIP] Add blog article about pod scheduling readiness

[bradmccoydev]

Hello @Huang-Wei! v1.26 Comms shadow here. This feature blog is on a feature tracked for release, the deadline for submitting a draft is the 29th of November; this should be considered the hard limit since we will need to review/edit/discuss the draft, so if at all possible it's better to submit it earlier to avoid any problems.

Any doubts, we're here to help! cc @fsmunoz

[Huang-Wei]

@bradmccoydev thanks for the reminder. I will have some cycles early next week, and it's quite optimistic to finish the draft before the deadline.

[fsmunoz]

Hello @Huang-Wei , today is Review Readiness deadline, it's important not to miss it since it can imply dropping the feature blog :( If we can be of any help, we'e here!

[Huang-Wei]

@fsmunoz it's ready for review now.

Thanks.

If feasible, use SVG images - see the diagram guide for our docs guidelines, which mostly also apply to blog articles.

https://www.k8s.dev/blog/2021/12/01/improve-your-documentation-with-mermaid.js-diagrams/ has some more tips.

Ready for release comms to assign a publication date

[fsmunoz]

Hello, Comms Lead for v1.26 here: this Feature Blog PR is confirmed for the post-release Feature Blog series. We will add the publishing date in the next days. Thank you for your work!

[Huang-Wei]

@sftim Mermaid bits updated. Although I tried pretty hard to make it close to my original pictures, it's somehow restricted on how different parts are positioned, and how the arrows get rendered. So take a look and let me know if it's good enough.

[sftim]

For the diagrams, if you want to, you can save to SVG and load that up into an editor such as Inkscape, then make any tweak you see as reasonable.

Please convert text to curves before saving (it's also handy to save a copy of the Mermaid source somewhere)/

I prefer to use Mermaid texts only and thus it's editable in the future. For embedding a tweaked SVG, it's still not convenient to modify in the future.

Hello, Comms Lead for v1.26 here. The publication order and date for the Feature Blog series has been finalised and the tracking board updated (cf. discussion).

The publication date for this article is 26-12-2022 (December 26).

Thanks!

[Huang-Wei]

@fsmunoz thanks, the document was renamed to carry 2022-12-26 in its path.

Some more feedback

[sftim]

I prefer to use Mermaid texts only and thus it's editable in the future. For embedding a tweaked SVG, it's still not convenient to modify in the future.

For a blog article, it's even better to embed an SVG with text converted to curves, and place a link to edit the Mermaid.
https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/style/diagram-guide/#mermaid-svg explains this approach.

This is a bit more work for someone who wants to edit the blog article, but also less maintenance for the site overall, so the Mermaid+SVG approach approach scales better (we will have more changes that are not to this article than we will have changes that do touch this article).

We can merge with the Mermaid image and convert later, so that doesn't block progress here.

OK to unhold once Kubernetes 1.26 is released.
