Starting With Kapitan

Kapitan is a tool generating configuration files (and more), handling extension of configs and overriding of values. It is great when you need to generate complex configurations or config files that slightly differ by being used in slightly different scenarios. For example staging vs production, or client A vs client B. It is supporting multiple templating approaches, my favourite being jsonnet, which is the only we will cover here. It can be used to generated Kubernetes configurations, but not only.
