Ah. Quite a lot of things you mention are possible by dynamically generating yaml config. I wrote a blog post about using go kubernetes library to generate yaml : https://kozikow.com/2016/09/02/using-go-to-autogenerate-kubernetes-configs/ https://kozikow.com/2016/09/02/using-go-to-autogenerate-kube.... It's quite nice, even for static config IMO, due to type safety. You can easily write golang binary that would ask user series of questions "what database would you like", "do you want public access", etc. and get yaml as output.
