  1. beiboot

    Getdeck Beiboot is a Kubernetes-in-Kubernetes solution :rocket: It allows creating multiple logical Kubernetes environments within one :arrow_right: physical host cluster.

    I went on generating K8s YAMLs with Python and a CLI framework for passing options or read in value-files: https://github.com/Getdeck/beiboot/blob/main/client/beiboot/misc/install.py Then it's a `beibootctl install --arg 1 --arg 2 --option=whatever | kubectl apply -f -` which prints the YAML to the console and can be applied or stored from there.
