Vulkan Layer Symbiosis within the Vulkan Ecosystem – new LunarG white paper

The purpose of this whitepaper is to describe how to create a Vulkan Layer in symbiosis with the Vulkan ecosystem. By this, we mean creating a layer that can benefit from the tools of the Vulkan ecosystem while following the Vulkan ecosystem conventions so that Vulkan developers don’t have to keep up with constant new behaviors. Instead, we can rely on the behaviors familiar to developers and can focus on using the features of the layers.
