Re configuration: ksonnet is an option (although I personally find jsonnet a “lipstick on a pig” kind of solution).

There’s some work going on to have something more user-friendly (think Google’s Piccolo) - https://github.com/stripe/skycfg (disclaimer - I contributed to this project)

There's also Kubecfg [1], which uses Jsonnet, but has a much smaller surface area than Ksonnet.

Could you describe Piccolo a bit? Can't find anything on it.

Not going into too much details- it was a Python-esque dsl equivalent to bcl. You still had to learn Borg abstractions but at least you didn’t have to fight the language as much if you wanted to implement DRY in your configs.

Piccolo is very similar to Pystachio.
