It's really easy to generate invalid YAML with a templating language if you aren't careful. If you like tooling that protects you from yourself and others mistakes then using a template language to generate YAML is going to ring warning bells for you.
- simtel20 8y agoTrue, but once you get it right once, it's really easy to generate the correct yaml over and over again because the input is not unknown random data.
- zaphar 8y agoThe problem is that in practice you are modifying these somewhat frequently and if you aren't careful one of those modification will result in a production outage.
- simtel20 8y agoFor the things that change frequently, guardrails can be built (extra testing, extra safety). But over time most configuration ends up stable, with the changes not being wild-wested, in my experience.
