This library lets you deploy standard Kubernetes YAML files using Pulumi. This enables a few interesting scenarios
- Incremental adoption of real code for Kubernetes deployments
- GitOps-based CI/CD, using immutable infrastructure, for Kubernetes
- Ability to mix AWS, Azure, Google Cloud configuration alongside Kubernetes configuration
pk8syaml is published to NPM, and may be installed simply as
$ npm install pk8syaml
And then in your Pulumi program, simply point it at the desired YAML files
'use strict';
let pk8syaml = require("pk8syaml");
pk8syaml.apply([
"./path/to/some-kubernetes-config.yaml",
...,
"./path/to/more-kubernetes-config.yaml",
]);To use this library, make sure to install Pulumi first.
For a basic example of pk8syaml in action, see the Standard Kubernetes Guestbook.
To see an interesting mix of Kubernetes and cloud resources -- which can include AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud -- see this same Guestbook using hosted AWS ElastiCache. These are versioned and deployed homogeneously. Of course, it gets more interesting when you port the YAML configuration to real code, eliminating the need to do string substitution, and unlocking the full power of programming languages.
