[Episode 98]: CUE templating format

[veggiemonk]

Hi, after watching many episodes of TGIK, I can't help but notice that there is a recurring theme when it comes to templating. At first it looks simple and then the DAY 2 operation makes it a living hell.

We have seen many tools such as Helm, Pulumi, YTT, HCL, sed and probably many more exist.

There is this new templating language called CUE (https://cue.googlesource.com/cue) which is not on github for some reasons.

I've had my fair share of templating hell with a few of those tools and I would love to know if the quest for the golden templating engine is just a dream ?

Thanks for entering this! There has been some discussion on twitter (https://twitter.com/jbeda/status/1167983130747080704) and I'd like to take this up soon. I've been chatting with @mpvl and he says he wants to update some docs before we take it on.

And, my POV, there is no perfect system for this stuff. But there are ways to find unique points in the search space!
