gomplate VS hashi-up

this tool may interest the same audience: https://github.com/hairyhenderson/gomplate

I find it especially handy for poc-ing helm snippets, although regrettably they don't have the same "standard library" of functions

I'm surprised nobody mentioned https://gomplate.ca/ yet. It's a great CLI tool built on top of Go's built-in templating with many features, including one template to many outputs using a separate data source. See this blog post from the author: https://blog.hairyhenderson.ca/post/one\_template\_many\_outputs/

Cookiecutter is nice but it requires an entire python install to run, which is a big thing to ask for some of the scenarios mentioned by the tool creator (like someone going through a simple learning tutorial which might not even be using python at all).

IMHO gomplate is a nicer alternative that's just a single static go-based tool that can do everything cookiecutter does and a lot more: https://github.com/hairyhenderson/gomplate

If you want to try Vault, you could try hashi-up to get it installed easily.

Getting the initial cluster up and running was super easy, and even easier once I found hashi-up. I ended up building and tearing down the cluster a number of times using hashi-up.
