I've a little CLI tool I use with pkl & kustomize based projects to generate a canonical tree of yaml files. I'm hoping to open source it soon 🤞 Until then this CLI from Jenkins X might help: jenkins-x.io/v3/develop/r... source is here: github.com/jenkins-x-pl...

I was skeptical when you first did it… but since come to agree. This is the way.

1/ I’ve become an unofficial evangelist for Bluesky. (I don’t work here.) As a former dir of product mgmt @Twitter, I’m impressed w/ the innovative and courageous choices Bluesky has made. They’ve come up with a better way to do social media. Some have asked me how I explain this outcome. A🧵>>>

if you are interested in how mirrord works under the covers, this was a great talk at KubeCon Paris I was lucky enough to attend: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OSQ...

if you ever want to debug your code inside your IDE when its running inside kubernetes I'd recommend giving mirrord a try: mirrord.dev I've used it on a bunch of projects via the IntelliJ plugin and it worked really nicely

Extra bonus points for using a canonical file layout for the rendered YAML files and using a single resource per file. Its then even easier to review/compare the history of a single resource in particular environment in git via the GitHub website

Great video from Viktor on GitOps: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWE2... Whatever tool you use to generate your kubernetes manifests, render them as YAML in your CI & check results into git in another branch/repo. Its then much simpler to review & reason about changes & simplifies your GitOps tooling
