Is it possible to apply a string containing yaml directly into k8s? I can do

k8s.yaml.ConfigFile

to read from a file and apply, but if possible I’d like to skip the file and just use text that I specify in my code

I'm not sure of a way to do that, is there a reason you're trying to do it that way?

Yeah, that's possible. You have to use the other resource, I think it's called config group or something like that
