rbac-tool VS helmfile

A simpler alternative to Krane is rbac-tool, which can be installed as kubectl plugin. It can also analyze, audit, interrogate RBAC rules, but most importantly, it can visualize them:

Tool to create and visualize RBAC in cluster: https://github.com/alcideio/rbac-tool

Other tools that can also audit your existing RBAC permissions and Kubernetes setups are rbac-tool and rbac-audit.

And of course a quick google search shows that someone has already created something like that for RBAC: https://github.com/alcideio/rbac-tool

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) should be configured for the Kubernetes cluster. Rights need to be assigned within the project namespace based on least privilege and separation of duties (RBAC-tool)

I've been tasked with defining and documenting some ClusterRoles with clear permissions that should (mostly) be enough for any kind of cluster. The idea is for admins (who don't necessarily do the devops behind) to be able to understand what each CR does, to assign these CRs to users on the fly, to update a user's access as their needs change, to view a list of policy rules, who can do what etc... For this maintenance and tracking part we use rbac-manager and rbac-tool, which are excellent tools imo.

I've just started using rbac-manager and rbac-tool to apply and track rbac on our clusters :)

What we’re going to install into the newly created AKS cluster is located in the helm directory. The descriptive Helmfile approach enables us to define applications and their settings in the helmfile.yaml file.

Is there any alternative to https://github.com/roboll/helmfile you are currently using in your company.

Interesting, I have approached this problem using Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to define a “platform release package.”

To make managing the Helm deployments a little easier I used helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile).

But in general it's always easier to keep things quite separated. Meaning in separate helm releases. If you want to be able to manage things "together" at will, then you can use helmfile ( https://github.com/roboll/helmfile )

I agree; helm is too declarative.

Whenever I can, I use helmfile[0] for storing variables for helm since it does add a declarative layer on top of helm.

I went through the Helmfile repo Readme to figure out the difference between helmfile sync and helmfile apply. It seems like unlike the apply command, the sync command doesn't do a diff and helm upgrades the hell out of all releases 😃. But from the word sync, you'd expect the command to apply those releases that have been changed. There is also mention of the potential application of helmfile apply to periodically syncing of releases. Why not use helmfile sync for this purpose? Overall, the difference didn't become crystal clear, and I though there could probably be more to it. So, I'm asking.

helmfile is something i’ve used in the past for this https://github.com/roboll/helmfile

I always felt like dependencies in helm are for very simple non-coupled packages. I many times use Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to manage dependencies instead of banging my head with vanilla Helm.

Once you do that, learn to create dynamic helm charts that use go templating and conditionals: https://github.com/roboll/helmfile
