Dive into the world of K Configuration Language (KCL). This review and walkthrough illuminates the features and advantages of using KCL to generate YAML or JSON configurations and manifests. We cover the basics of KCL’s syntax, its approach to handling hierarchical data, and demonstrate how to define and manipulate configurations with clarity and precision.

We dive into the powerful synergy between External Secrets Operator (ESO) and Crossplane to efficiently manage and propagate secrets across your Kubernetes clusters, databases, and secrets managers. Learn how to securely and seamlessly integrate with cloud providers’ secret management systems using ESO, and see how to leverage Crossplane’s infrastructure as code capabilities to ensure your secrets are consistently deployed wherever they’re needed.
