Thanks Aizhamal for opening the discussion. I would like to see more documentation on the Kubernetes executor, which is under heavy development, but the documentation is still lacking. I would love to see some more extended documentation on how to set it up, and how to make the most out of it. I think this the k8s executor has a lot of potential, but isn't fully utilized due to lack of documentation.
