Languages of Infra: Beyond YAML

Provisioning infrastructure through machine readable configuration has been a key enabler of the cloud and the growth of automation. But to move away from manual and non repeatable work we have instead ended up with megabytes, sometimes gigabytes of YAML and similar languages, with a variety of templating and generation tools. A new generation of tools is moving away from this YAML sprawl towards code and other approaches. This track explores a variety of these approaches, with talks both from practitioners and from those who have brought new tools and processes into creation because they have a strong vision beyond the status quo.

Session Kubernetes

Kubernetes without YAML

Monday Oct 2 / 05:05PM PDT

Kubernetes ONLY understands JSON, yet we all write a ton of YAML. This is because it's meant to be easier for us to write ... but writing our manifests in YAML can be complex, error-prone, and damn right opaque as we adopt more custom resources.
