YAML is for Computers. ksonnet is for Humans
summary
Ksonnet uses Jsonnet as a data‑templating language to generate Kubernetes YAML, letting teams parameterize manifests, build reusable components and a node‑affinity library, and deploy the same app to multiple clusters and namespaces by defining environments = cluster+namespace. It imports existing YAML, validates objects before apply, offers registries and prototypes for reusable packages, and plans Helm chart support and a VS Code extension. Demos show live renders to kubectl and multiple environment deployments working end‑to‑end.
