ytt VS kubernetes-mixin

YTT - YTT is a templating tool that understands YAML structure. It helps you easily configure complex software via reusable templates and user provided values using the Starlark language.

Adding https://carvel.dev/ytt/ to the list. I was happy using this tool as IMO it mixes good things from Helm and Kustomize, however the syntax is ugly and repelling my colleagues to have a closer look.

> Templating yaml is a terrible, terrible idea

I've had a good time using ytt: https://carvel.dev/ytt/. It implements language-aware templating, which is IMO the only reasonable way to do it.

`ytt` is part of the Carvel toolchain. https://carvel.dev/ytt/

I agree with you on `you will want to see just plain texts instead of a bunch of templating token with hidden logic.` Which is why I think https://carvel.dev/ytt/ would be great. We could generate these templates in pipelines, or we could just make it easier to maintain what we have.

For more advanced configuration management you might be interested in ytt ( https://carvel.dev/ytt/ ) which is a "yaml-aware" templating tool. it lets you do "patches" via an overlay mechanism to add or remove specific yaml blocks, and it also lets you use a simplified python dialect for more complicated logic. With ytt you would put your DNS IP into a "data values" file and then run ytt to render it into the configs before handing them off to the deployment tool. e.g. `ytt -f | kubectl apply`

I said this above as well: ytt (https://carvel.dev/ytt/) lets you embed starlark into valid yaml, among other cute tricks for managing biz-logic in configs.

Manifests are generated with ytt (https://carvel.dev/ytt/).

This is why you should consider https://carvel.dev/ytt/

I'd suggest looking at the queries used by the kubernetes mixin dashboards for inspiration.

Came across this lib, but realized the last update was 4 years ago.

Take a look at the kubernetes mixins to get an idea and/or starting point

The last step is to use the Mixin dashboard to visualize the usage of PV, you can get it from here

It's working good so far, except for the annoying CPUThrottlingHigh alert that is firing for many pods (including the own Prometheus' config-reloaders containers). This alert is currently under discussion, and I want to silence its notifications for now.

I think it might still have issues figuring out that it needs to apply CRDs first: https://github.com/grafana/tanka/issues/246 Besides that, I found it super-handy for deploying https://github.com/prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator and https://github.com/kubernetes-monitoring/kubernetes-mixin

These all standard dashboards are basically generated from the kubernetes-mixin project.

I would suggest looking at the Kubernetes Mixin: https://github.com/kubernetes-monitoring/kubernetes-mixin, it has both alerts and Grafana dashboards.
