I wrote my own Ruby code to manage Kubernetes manifests. Instead of messing with templates, I generate or transform manifests, sometimes functionally, sometimes not. Declarative is necessary if one is trying to have something maintain a desired state and do what is necessary to move the current state to the desired state. I wonder if this is why I hear a lot of people say K8S is complex. I mean, it isn’t simple, but it isn’t _that_ complex.
