Carvel Tools for Kubernetes

59 minutes

😇 My new GitHub Security workshop has launched! A free 2-hour workshop with hands-on labs to harden your repos and your workflows from common supply chain attacks. I'll cover how attackers are getting in, and then we'll lock down a sample repo so you know what needs to be done to protect your code. You'll leave with a deep understanding of risks and mitigations as well as a list of helpful tools to keep your repos safe, including my new "gasa" tool for scanning your repos and orgs.

Bret is joined by Dmitriy Kalinin and John Ryan, software engineers at VMWare, to show off the many Carvel project tools.

Carvel provides a set of reliable, single-purpose, composable tools that aid in your application building, configuration, and deployment to Kubernetes. The Carvel project includes tools for templating, image building and tracking, secrets management, app deploying and more. The tool list includes ytt, kapp, kapp-controller, kbld, imgpkg, vendir, and kwt.
