About

Inline Manual is a digital adoption platform designed to help enterprise software vendors and IT departments create in-context user guidance — walkthroughs, tooltips, task lists, and knowledge base articles — that appears inside the software interface where users need it. The platform addresses the adoption gap that occurs when complex enterprise applications are deployed to end users without adequate in-context training, resulting in low utilization rates, high support ticket volume, and failed rollouts. By embedding guidance directly within the application layer rather than pointing users to external documentation, Inline Manual reduces the distance between a user encountering a problem and receiving the help they need to resolve it.

About

Kubernetes (K8s) is the dominant open-source container orchestration platform — originally developed by Google engineers (Joe Beda, Brendan Burns, Craig McLuckie) in 2014, donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in 2016, and now maintained by a global community of contributors from Google, Microsoft, Red Hat, Amazon, and hundreds of organizations. Kubernetes manages the deployment, scaling, load balancing, service discovery, and self-healing of containerized applications across clusters of compute nodes, serving as the operating system of cloud-native infrastructure for millions of applications globally.
