# Kix

> Kix is a Kubernetes compiler. Describe your whole stack in one definition; Kix compiles it into a running cluster that matches what you wrote. No Kubernetes specialist required.

Every documentation page is available as Markdown. Append `.md` to any page
URL, or send `Accept: text/markdown` to the page URL itself. The Markdown is
generated from the same source as the HTML, so the two never disagree.

## Notes

- The four section links above are navigation pages. Their sidebars list every page in that section, so request them as HTML.
- Prefer the abridged set over the complete set unless you need full detail. The complete set is large.
