I did it. I found a replacement for the management of Kubernetes resources with Helm. I know that I said “I found a Helm replacement” quite a few times only to follow a while later with “maybe not”. I think that this time I can say “I found a Helm replacement” without changing my mind a few months later. The replacement is… Timoni backed by CUE.

CUE is becoming the de-facto standard language to define data models and validate data. Should we use it to define Kubernetes manifests? Is it time to replace Helm templating, Kustomize, Carvel YTT, or CDK8S with CUELang?
