Maybe? I'm too lazy to formally verify if the YAML files k8s accepts are Turing complete. With kustomize they might very well be. How about "infrastructure-as-

  They don't do loops or recursion. They don't even do iterative steps in the way that Ansible YAML has plays/tasks. Yes, higher-level tools like Kustomize or Jsonnet or whatever else you use for templating the files are Turing-complete - but that's at the level of you on your machine generating input to Kubernetes, not at the level of Kubernetes itself. That's a valuable distinction - it means you can't have a Kubernetes manifest get halfway through and fail the way that you can have an Ansible playbook get halfway through and fail; there's no "halfway." If something fails halfway through your Jsonnet, it fails in template expansion without actually doing anything to your infrastructure. (You can, of course, have it run out of resources or hit quota issues partway through deploying some manifest, but there's no ordering constraint - it won't refuse to run the "rest" of the "steps" because an "earlier step" failed, there's no such thing. You can address the issue, and Kubernetes will resume trying to shape reality to match your manifest just as if some hardware failed at runtime and you were recovering, or whatever.)
