kluctl is the missing glue that puts together your (and any third-party) deployments into one large declarative Kubernetes deployment, while making it fully manageable (deploy, diff, prune, delete, …) via one unified command line interface.
Use kluctl to:
- Organize large and complex deployments, consisting of many Helm charts and kustomize deployments
- Do the same for small and simple deployments, as the overhead is small
- Always know what the state of your deployments is by being able to run diffs on the whole deployment
- Always know what you actually changed after performing a deployment
- Keep your clusters clean by issuing regular prune calls
- Deploy the same deployment to multiple environments (dev, test, or prod), with flexible differences in configuration
- Manage multiple target clusters (in multiple clouds or bare-metal if you want)
- Manage encrypted secrets for multiple target environments and clusters (based on Sealed Secrets)
- Integrate it into your CI/CI pipelines and avoid putting too much logic into your shell scripts
