Reintroducing kpt: A Toolchain for Infrastructure Automation

2026-07-03

kpt is a CNCF sandbox project for packaging, validating, transforming, and deploying Kubernetes Resource Model configuration as data. It gives platform teams a WYSIWYG workflow for GitOps-style infrastructure automation, where final manifests can be reviewed before deployment and configuration changes remain auditable, composable, and easier to reason about than template-heavy pipelines.
