Kubernetes may be a useful framework, but "amazingly helpful" is not a word I'd use for it. To me, it's a half-assed collection of five hundred nearly identical (but all slightly different) yaml files masquerading as "abstraction". And because they're yaml you can't refactor out the common part.
Well, to be fair, yaml itself doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation, but I've never seen fifty lines of yaml that could convey so little information in any other place.
- OJFord 7y agoUse a Helm chart (or alternative)? When you're writing YAML you can absolutely include from elsewhere (it calls it 'aliases', which is... Well, at least it exists) in multuple places - though annoyingly not from other files. When you're reading (partially) generated YAML, (e.g. kubectl describe or edit) it's IMO a feature that everything is in its place with no indirection. (And as far as I'm aware this is YAML, not kubectl.)
