Notes from episode 79 of TGIK: YTT and Kapp


Over the past few months I’ve been trying to learn everything there is to know about Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an amazing technology for deploying and scaling containers though it comes with a cost. It’s an incredibly complex piece of software and there are a ton of bells and whistles to become familiar with. One way that I’ve found for coming up to speed is Joe Beda’s weekly TGIK live broadcast. This occurs each Friday at 4PM EST and is CHOCK full of fantastic information. In episode seventy-nine Joe discusses ytt and kapp. You can watch it here:

Here are some of my takeways from the episode:

#@ def labels():
foo: bar
appname: zebra
#@ end
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels: #@ labels()
  template:
    metadata:
      labels: #@ labels()
