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.

This video explores WASM and compares it with Docker containers, Kubernetes, serverless, and edge to answer the following questions.

• What is WASM?
• Should we use it in browsers?
• Should we replace Docker containers with WASM?
• Should we run it in Kubernetes clusters or replace Kubernetes altogether?
• Is it the future of serverless computing and edge devices?
• Why should we use WASM and, if yes, where should we use it?

Acorn is a development platform that makes it easy to build and deploy cloud-native applications in Kubernetes or as a SaaS service. It uses CUE-based DSL as its configuration language, which makes it easy to define, manage, and deploy applications using a single, declarative language.

In this video, we will show you how to use Acorn to build and deploy a cloud-native application and discuss the pros and cons in an attempt to discover whether Acorn might be a good choice.

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?
