Answer from AI
There are several popular templating tools for Kubernetes that help manage and generate manifests:
- Helm — the most widely used package manager for Kubernetes, using Go templates. It allows creating, versioning, and distributing charts.
- Kustomize — a tool for declarative management of Kubernetes configurations without templates, but with the ability to overlay patches and overrides.
- Jsonnet — a programming language for describing configurations, often used for generating Kubernetes manifests.
- Skaffold — supports templating and automation of CI/CD processes, integrates with Helm and Kustomize.
- Kapitan — a configuration management tool supporting Jinja2 and Jsonnet templates.
Each of them is suitable for different scenarios: Helm is convenient for application distribution, Kustomize for managing configurations with minimal changes, Jsonnet for complex programmable configurations.
