using helm right now, is that going to be around going forward ?

There are a lot of Helm charts these days, but mostly they lack something needed for my setup. But I still want to build upon all the knowledge integrated in the helm charts. So I run

helm template

using a custom

values.yaml

file to generate an expanded set of K8s YAML files. After that, I run

kube2pulumi

to convert these Yaml to Pulumi code (in your preferred programming language). Once you have code, you can refactor at will.

Nice idea which I might end up doing too. How's it worked out so far? Easy to diff code with upstream changes?

Thanks Ringo, that's very helpful

I'm actually going to be talking about these patterns tonight at this free meetup if anyone wants to join? https://www.meetup.com/Redmond-Kubernetes-Meetup/events/273306691/

@billowy-army-68599 will it be recorded?

not sure
