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.

In this fifth installment of our Crossplane tutorial series, we are exploring Composition Functions. They allow us infinite flexibility to define which Managed Resources to create, manage, and delete, and how to do that.

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?
