This repository contains the current efforts in creating Kapitan Generators.
These are meant to be used as part of the Kapitan project and not on their own.
Please see <kapitan.dev> or https://github.com/kapicorp/kapitan-reference to get started.
As explained in the blog post Keep your ship together with Kapitan, (Kapitan) generators are a
powerful idea to simplify the management your configuration setup.
Think of them as universal templates that you can use to quickly create configurations (for instance, Kubernetes resources) through a domain-specific configuration.
For example, the configuration:
parameters:
components:
nginx:
image: nginxInstructs the "Kubernetes Generator" to create a Deployment Kubernetes resource for nginx. The configuration can be extended to include Secrets, ConfigMaps, Services, env variables, ports and more.
The same configuration can be used by a "Documentation Generator" to create an nginx.md file with a description of the configuration to be consumed as documentation.
