Main Features
- Use the Inventory as the single source of truth to tie together deployments, resources and documentation. based on reclass
- Use Jsonnet or Kadet (alpha) to create json/yaml based configurations (e.g. Kubernetes, Terraform);
- Use Jinja2 to create text based templates for scripts and documentation;
- Manage secrets with GPG, AWS KMS or gCloud KMS and define who can access them, without compromising collaboration with other users.
- Create dynamically generated documentation about a single deployment (i.e. ad-hoc instructions) or all deployments at once (i.e. global state of deployments)
