Helm is the necessary evil for Kubernetes chose YAML

• vbezhenar 11mo ago
  Helm works at text level. This approach could have worked with YAML, JSON, XML or any other text format. You can template C++ code with Helm if you really want. It's just golang templates below. And that makes it wrong. YAML is structured format and proper templating should work with JSON-like data structures, not with text. Kustomize is better example.

    If you're going to template JSON, I recommend jq for that.
