These visualizations include a health map for viewing the status of k8s pods/containers, in addition to composite charts
for viewing per-second CPU, memory, disk, and networking metrics from k8s nodes.
-## Before you begin
-
-In order to use the Kubernetes visualizations in Netdata Cloud, you need:
-
-- A Kubernetes cluster running Kubernetes v1.9 or newer.
-- A Netdata deployment using the latest version of the [Helm chart](https://github.com/netdata/helmchart), which
- installs [v1.29.2](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/releases) or newer of the Netdata Agent.
-- To connect your Kubernetes cluster to Netdata Cloud.
-- To enable the feature flag described below.
