Conversation
…bernetes Multiple users have reported confusion that HolmesGPT appears to be Kubernetes-only. This was caused by every first touchpoint reinforcing that impression: the title said "CNCF", every quickstart example used kubectl, the walkthrough required a K8s cluster, and the recommended setup framed K8s as the default base layer. Changes: - README: Change title from "The CNCF SRE Agent" to "Open-Source SRE Agent" - README: Add "Works with any stack" to description, add "No K8s required" bullet - Walkthrough: Remove K8s as a hard prerequisite, add non-K8s quickstart tab - CLI installation: Add "No Kubernetes Required" callout with non-K8s examples, remove duplicated kubectl apply steps from every provider tab - Recommended setup: Reframe from "K8s is automatic, rest is optional" to "works with any infrastructure" - Docs landing: Update tagline to mention all infrastructure types https://claude.ai/code/session_016V9CLdZJxx5DMXr1Cjg7wn Signed-off-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Keep "The CNCF SRE Agent" title — CNCF branding is important validation. Restore the kubectl apply steps in each provider tab so the guided demo works end-to-end. The "No Kubernetes Required" callout box above the tabs still directs non-K8s users to skip this and use their own systems. https://claude.ai/code/session_016V9CLdZJxx5DMXr1Cjg7wn Signed-off-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
