Tanka: Our way of deploying to Kubernetes

Re:Tanka: Our way of deploying to Kubernetes by candiddevmike on Friday January 10, 2020 @10:29AM (#22011609)

The shortcomings for Helm are relatively spot on, but I feel like the ship has sailed for tools that aren't Helm based. The ecosystem partners (and thus, end users) have rallied around Helm charts as the defacto manifest format, so a tool that doesn't understand Helm charts will not see a lot of adoption. Are there any plans for Tanka to support importing existing Charts?

(Tanka dev here)

Nobody can neglect the power of helm charts (because so many already exist), so I think Tanka will add support soon.

Even though we are focused on Jsonnet right now, this does not necessarily need to stay that way forever.

Grafana for example is popular because it supports multiple datasources, Tanka should probably do as well (e.g. Jsonnet, CUE, Helm, whatever results in JSON)

There's another jsonnet tool called qbec that can do that - https://qbec.io
