Create Guide: How to convert Helm templates to ytt templates

Open cari-lynn opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Why

Helm is a common templating tool used in k8s. Often authors that want to use ytt already have helm templates. This guide would provide them with a high level resource to aid in mapping Helm concepts to ytt concepts and features.

What

This guide would translate Helm concepts (values, templates, --set, template directive) into ytt concepts, and point to the appropriate docs in ytt. This guide would not necessarily compare the two tools or recommend one over the other. It also need not be exhaustive, just touch on concepts that will address the most common use cases.

Here are some Helm concepts that could be touched on:

  • values
  • --set flag
  • the template directive
  • ...

How

In a page the carvel.dev/ytt documentation

Here are some requests for this we have gotten 1 2
