Episode notes
kOps and Open Source
- kOps (chaops) was designed as open-source to ensure Kubernetes wouldn't become SaaS-only.
- It aimed to make Kubernetes work well on AWS, addressing a weakness of OpenStack.
Configuration Management
- Use Kubernetes for actuation and configuration management for writing configurations.
- Automate and share best practices to improve configuration management.
Helm's Complexity
- Helm's templating, while popular, introduces complexity by requiring users to learn both Helm's and Kubernetes' APIs.
- Making changes or applying security fixes across packages becomes difficult with templating.
