New illustration for the Kubernetes Agent empty state

Purpose

The illustration that we have in the Kubernetes area is the same for two different tabs/functions. I would like to differentiate visually the two different solutions of Kubernetes management by offering a different variation for the Kubernetes Agent empty state.

In addition, the current illustration doesn't refer to Kubernetes or cloud infrastructure so I would like to tweak it slight for that purpose.

Concept

Current illustration

illustrations_clusters_empty_1

Tweaked illustration for GitLab managed clusters

Clusters_empty_state

Illustration for Kubernetes Agents

Agents_empty_state

Checklists

Complete all items in both checklists before closing the issue. All items are the responsibility of the author, unless otherwise noted.

Design

  1. Duplicate the Illustration template and move the copy to your Drafts folder in Figma. Update the file name and cover thumbnail with relevant issue information.
  2. Share your draft file with a FE/UX Foundation designer to review, and make sure they have view permissions in Figma. If they have the capacity, they should assign themselves to this issue. If not, try pinging another designer.
  3. Reviewer: Review the illustration in the author’s draft file. Add design-specific comments in Figma to maintain context. Add general comments to this issue, including your approval status. Once approved, assign to a Figma maintainer for final review.
  4. Maintainer: Add the illustration to the Illustrations file under the appropriate page and category. The illustration should be in a frame with the bounds set to the artwork. The frame name should match the exported file name (without the extension).
  5. Author: Move your draft file to the Component archive Figma project.

Library addition

  1. Create a new merge request (MR) from this issue.
  2. Checkout the new branch locally.
  3. Export the illustration from the Illustrations file (in Figma) to the /illustrations folder in your local instance of the repo. The file name should be lowercase, and use hyphens as a separator between terms. If necessary, place the illustration in one of the sub-directories.
  4. In a terminal window, run yarn run svg to add the illustration to the library in the /dist folder.
  5. In a terminal window, run yarn run dev to preview the SVG library locally. Find the new illustration and ensure it is rendered accurately.
  6. After you’ve committed the changes and the pipeline passes, assign the MR to a review by a maintainer, and proceed with any changes.

If you run into any problems, ensure that all other steps in the project README have been followed.
