Yoke: Infrastructure as Code for Kubernetes Package Management

Explore the future of Kubernetes package management in this 18-minute conference talk by David Desmarais-Michaud. Delve into the limitations of text-based templating for managing Kubernetes resources, including the lack of built-in testing, static typing, and inconsistent IDE support. Discover the benefits of Kubernetes Packages as Code, addressing these issues and streamlining package definition, versioning, and distribution. Examine the challenges in packaging code, such as efficient execution, bundling runtimes and compilers, cross-language and cross-architecture compatibility, and ensuring code safety. Learn about WebAssembly as a potential solution to these complex problems. Get introduced to Yoke, an Infrastructure as Code Package Manager for Kubernetes, demonstrating these concepts in action.
