Helm vs Kustomize - The Fight Between Templating and Patching in Kubernetes

• argo-cd

  Declarative Continuous Deployment for Kubernetes

  

I think this can be bested summed up by this quote by some of the maintainers of ArgoCD.

• kustomize

  28 10,550 9.2 Go

  Customization of kubernetes YAML configurations

  

Interesting. Here's a bug about how you can't easily see what version of kustomize is being used: kubectl kustomize version should report version info, and here's a good comment about getting kustomize updated.

  GoCardless' collection of Kubernetes extensions (by gocardless)

  

Yeah that's interesting. We use kind to build integration tests for our controllers (https://github.com/gocardless/theatre) which is really useful, as you're testing behaviour of how your controller code and kubernetes work together.

• ketch

  27 654 6.8 Go

  Ketch is an application delivery framework that facilitates the deployment and management of applications on Kubernetes using a simple command line interface

  

I think you can throw Ketch (https://github.com/shipa-corp/ketch) as an option there as it can help reduce a lot of the YAML files and deploy faster, and if at the end you still need Helm to fine-tune parameters, you can use Ketch to create a chart of your existing app automatically

Bit late to the party, but if anyone's interested, I made a multi-strategy-capable templating engine during the lockdown: https://github.com/nectar-cs/kerbi
