What is kpt?

KPT is a specialized toolchain designed for managing packages, featuring a WYSIWYG interface for configuration authoring, automation, and delivery, which enhances the administration of Kubernetes platforms and KRM-based infrastructures by treating declarative configurations as separate entities from the code that executes them. While many Kubernetes users typically depend on conventional imperative graphical interfaces, command-line tools like kubectl, or automation solutions such as operators that engage with Kubernetes APIs directly, others prefer to utilize declarative configuration frameworks like Helm, Terraform, and cdk8s, among a variety of alternatives. For smaller setups, the selection of tools often hinges on individual preferences and familiarity. However, as organizations expand their Kubernetes clusters for development and production, maintaining consistent configurations and security policies across a broader landscape becomes increasingly complex, leading to potential discrepancies. In response to these challenges, KPT offers a more organized and effective strategy for managing configurations within Kubernetes environments, ensuring that users can maintain consistency and compliance as their infrastructure scales. This innovative approach ultimately aids organizations in navigating the complexities of Kubernetes management and enhances operational efficiency.
