+### What is the Kanvas Catalog?
+Think of it as a hub for sharing and discovering best practices, reusable templates, and operational patterns for Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure. It's like a marketplace where you can find and contribute pre-built configurations designed for various use cases.
