Ask HN: Looking for best practices image lifecycle management for Kubernetes

Hi HN. I've fallen into a project that's a bit over my head experience-wise, so I'm looking for hints.

This is about industry-standard/best practices management process for images in Kubernetes / k8s context.

I'm already lost when trying to find a decent way to represent this. So far I have tree representing the management hierary, top nodes like image creation, image versioning, image storage, image security, image distribution, image deployment, image cleanup, monitoring and auditing and refinements of such.

How do you represent transitions nicely? Vertical lines with invididual stages, with arrows denoting transitions?

Thanks in advance for any hints and pointers to resources.
