Experimenting with CUE and Carvel to Enable GitOps for Your...
summary
CUE provides schema-level validation and composable typing so config errors surface before reaching Kubernetes, with the CUE concept that types are values and the ability to import Kubernetes go types for concrete validation. Carvel composes vendir/ytt/kbld/imgpkg and kapp into a cluster workflow where an app CR declares fetch/template/deploy steps, swaps templaters, and reconciles (default every 10 minutes). Demo pulls a CUE module for cert‑manager from Git and successfully deploys it via kapp, proving the pipeline works end‑to‑end.
