Kubernets doesn't support simple scripting like passing variables and such? I know that Borg supports that via borgcfg, we basically have Borg templates for everything so you rarely have to write a new one from scratch. Not sure why it wasn't ported to the outside world.

Author here. The closest thing to borgcfg in Kubernetes would be kubecfg [0]. It is based on jsonnet, the open source equivalent to GCL. The official blessed solution right now would be kustomize [1] since it is directly integrated into kubectl. I categorize both in the article with my evaluation as solutions.

I’ll have to check that out, thank you for mentioning it.

Is `-k` very recent?

I am not certain, I think it was adopted mid 2019.

It's funny watching the open-source world gradually converge towards something that looks a lot like borgcfg.
