  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • kubestar

    Kubernetes config without all the YAML

  • Better templating, example https://github.com/emcfarlane/kubestar which uses starlark for kubernetes config.

  • kapitan

    Generic templated configuration management for Kubernetes, Terraform and other things

  • https://github.com/kapicorp/kapitan is also a very powerful option for managing and generating templates.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • matsuri

    Toolkit to build a unified dev/staging/production environment with Docker and Kubernetes (by matsuri-rb)

  • I wrote something similar using Ruby a while back. https://github.com/matsuri-rb/matsuri

    I even have a helm plugin that would let you specify all the command line options and values so that it can be tracked in git and consistently applied

  • k9s

    🐶 Kubernetes CLI To Manage Your Clusters In Style!

  • k8sviz

    Generate Kubernetes architecture diagrams from the actual state in a namespace

  • > create a Kubernetes YAML from a "docker run" command

    https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-generate.1....

    > kubernetes YAML explainer playground

    GPT4 can probably do this just in the way you describe. The other thing that came to mind is yaml-language-server

    > Diagram generation from Kubernetes namespace(s)

    https://github.com/mkimuram/k8sviz

  • kompose

    Convert Compose to Kubernetes

  • Have you looked at https://kompose.io?

    I have used it to get 80/20 of the work done when converting from docker-compose to k8s.

  • timoni

    Timoni is a package manager for Kubernetes, powered by CUE and inspired by Helm.

  • We use CUE directly to generate yaml resources

    Have our eyes on Timoni https://github.com/stefanprodan/timoni

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • OpenLens

    OpenLens Binary Build Repository
