Given that #kubenix seems unmaintained, what do #nix users use these days to overcome their allergy to handcrafted #YAML ?
Is there any cool kid on the block that's worth considering?

Thank y'all for the first day of #Rejekts2025 with great talks and inspiring conversations!

I am excited that I got a spot for the #LightningTalk​s.
Looking forward to present you #Kubenix a tool leveraging #NixOS modules to declare #K8s workloads fully declarative.
I will also show how its #Helm integration essentially bridges the #CloudNative and #Nix ecosystem effectively, while offering additionally type safety.

See you at 18:15 in the hall #TheNash!

You can have a look at my talk's slides: https://www.arik-grahl.de/talks/clc-2024
I also gave an introduction talk to Nix(OS): https://youtu.be/CxWrzpxgy1M?t=2181s
The slides are also available online:

At last year's #NixCon2023 was a good talk about defining k8s manifests with Nix: https://media.ccc.de/v/nixcon-2023-35290-nix-and-kubernetes-deployments-done-right
Other than that I would recommend #kubenix, which was showcased on this year's #NixCon2024: https://youtu.be/mmDJNLRR-Tw

Let me know if you have further questions.

@arichtman I am not currently using #kubenix, but this might be the push I needed to try it out! I'm building out a #k3s cluster with #NixOS and still rely on Ansible to deploy all the k8s resources, I'd love to change that.
