  1. cue

    The home of the CUE language! Validate and define text-based and dynamic configuration

    }]

    And with Cue, you get strongly typed values for everything, and can add tighter constraints as well. This expands to the relevant YAML resources (Services, Deployments, etc), which then get applied to the cluster. The nice thing of this approach is that the cluster doesn't need to know anything about how you manage your resources.

  3. aws-cdk

    The AWS Cloud Development Kit is a framework for defining cloud infrastructure in code

    I'm quite happy with CDK[0].

    My experience is only with the main AWS cloudformation based version of CDK, although there is also CDK for terraform, which supports any resource that terraform supports, although some of what I'm about to say is not applicable to that version.

    What I like about CDK, is that you can write real code, and it supports a wide range of languages, although typescript is the best experience.

    Provided that you don't use any of the `fromLookup` type functions, you can run and test the code without needing any actual credentials to your cloud provider.

    CDK essentially complies your code into a cloudformation template, you can run the build without credentials, then deploy the built cloudformation template separately.

    You don't need to worry about your terraform server crashing half way though a deployment, because cloudformation runs the actual deployment.

  4. wasmtime

    A lightweight WebAssembly runtime that is fast, secure, and standards-compliant

  5. blog-code

    Code for http://oilshell.org/blog/

    This is not code. This is configuration.

    FWIW I've been working on letting you declare data in YSH, a new Unix shell.

    This means you can arbitrarily interleave code and data, with the same syntax. The config dialect is called "Hay" - Hay Ain't YAML.

    I made a demo based on this example: https://github.com/oils-for-unix/blog-code/blob/main/hay/iac...

    It looks almost the same as HCL (although I think this was convergent evolution, since I've actually never used Terraform):

        # this is YSH code!

  6. Pry

    A runtime developer console and IRB alternative with powerful introspection capabilities.

    I feel that writing out infrastructure templates through a "proper programming language" (for the lack of a better term) comes with some sharp tradeoffs that many don't recognize.

    A big feature of most IaC tools is that they are relatively logic-less and therefore can be easily understood at a glance, allowing for easier reasoning about what resources can be created, and this ability is diminished by introducing logic, and debugging issues in them becomes a nightmare. A large company I used to work for had a system just like that, and while I thankfully never had to work with said system, hearing statements like you can "debug your templates with pry[1]" is something I hope to never hear again.

  7. community

    Kubernetes community content

    For Kubernetes, at least, the rationale is given here:

    https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contribu...

  8. timoni

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

    What the hell is going on with their bot copy-pasting every comment on that issue? What a mess

    Anyway, I wanted to ask what you meant by "served by helm?" I knew about https://github.com/stefanprodan/timoni and https://github.com/holos-run/holos but I believe they are merely "inspired by helm" and not "cue for helm"

  11. terraform-cdk

    Define infrastructure resources using programming constructs and provision them using HashiCorp Terraform

    I believe you just discovered cdktf https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk#cdk-for-terraform

    Also, I couldn't search for samurai in order to know if it
