YAML and Kubernetes: A Match Made in Heaven... or Hell? 🤔 For years, YAML has been the go-to choice for managing Kubernetes resources. But as our deployments grow more complex, is it still the smart choice? Engin Diri did a deep dive comparing three approaches to Kubernetes deployment automation: ✅ YAML Pros: Simple, standard approach Cons: Manual updates, no DRY principle, limited abstraction ✅ Terraform Pros: Dynamic configuration, better environment management Cons: Complex DSL, limited IDE support ✅ Pulumi Pros: Use familiar programming languages, full IDE support, superior testing Cons: Runtime dependencies, language lock-in Key Takeaway🎯: While YAML works for simple deployments, modern tools like Pulumi offer more maintainable, scalable solutions for complex environments.
