Are you ready to delete some YAML?

Beginner
The combination of Containers and Kubernetes has emerged as a de-facto standard for packaging, deploying and orchestrating applications. However, developers don't want the world to remember them as YAML engineers! Jokes apart, the (harsh?) reality is that Kubernetes app development workflows and specifications are dominated by YAML config which become harder to manage and maintain over time. Solutions such as Helm, Kustomize etc. help relieve some of the pain, but at the end of the day, they too are YAML-centric.
What if you could replace YAML with good old code - the same way you write your applications? Well, cdk8s (short form for Cloud Development Kit for Kubernetes) is an open-source CNCF project, that you can use to define "Kubernetes applications and reusable abstractions using familiar programming languages and rich object-oriented APIs"
Get an overview of cdk8s and it's workflow, how to define your first cdk8s application and building reusable components called "constructs". You will also see "cdk8s in action" with some live-coding and demos!
