+# K8s Architecture Icons — Illustrator File
+
+The original illustrator file is located at `files/k8s-architecture-icons.ai`
+
+## Considerations
+
+- This illusrator file contains all icons each within their own artboard.
+- The vector work is unexpanded, ensure future contributors can match exact stroke width or easily adjust rounding on smart corners
+
+## How to mass export svg files
+
+You need to export the artboards `File > Export > Export As.. >`
+
+Choose the format to be `SVG (svg)`
+
+Checkbox on Use Artboards
+
+Save As: `.svg`
+
+We don't provide a Save as name beacuse other it would be prefix to every file name.
+
+Illustrator will prefix an underscore eg. (_service.svg) so we'll need to programmatically remove the prefix.
+
+On Mac OS you can select all files, choose Rename and easily replace the prefix en-masse.
