If only Kubernetes hadn't gone and used it as the markup language of choice to represent... everything.
- Spivak 3y agoNo no no, k8s mistake was actually not using YAML hard enough. They built an object system on top of a format that can act as a typed serialization format for generic objects and then decided to just ignore all that and implement it on top of primitive types
- allarm 3y agoTangentially: there are some objects in the Kubernetes configuration that require the data to be base64 encoded (I think it's secrets and config maps, probably something else). When I was preparing for my CKA certification, I used the (most?) popular course that introduced base64 encoding as a _security measure_. I think that also says something about the state of the industry.
