Final Summary - Complete GitHub Repository

🎉 Project Complete!

You now have a production-ready, open-source project ready to share on GitHub!

📦 What Was Created

Core Tools (2 Ways to Use)

1. Standalone CLI Binary (prom2sar)

  • Single executable, works anywhere
  • No Kubernetes required
  • Perfect for ad-hoc analysis

2. Kubernetes Operator

  • Automated conversions
  • Custom Resource based
  • Production workflows

Both produce identical SAR output that kernel engineers can analyze with tools they already know!
