ksonnet-lib

I've been enjoying using Tanka [1], which is a command-line tool from the Grafana team to manage k8s configurations, which you define using jsonnet. Complete flexibility, with minimal boilerplate possible by using the older (unmaintained unfortunately) ksonnet library [2] or the upcoming jsonnet-libs/k8s(-alpha) (which we're using in production) [3], or roll your own, abstracting to whatever level you find best.

The fork is my fault. I agree it's confusing. I wrote (and still maintain) kubecfg. Heptio joined the project and started adding lots of great stuff. Eventually it was clear they wanted to take it in a direction that was different to the original borgcfg-like vision. I suggested we split that new functionality into a different tool so we could keep exploring both directions without trying to mash both into the same cli flags. Hence ksonnet/kubecfg and ksonnet/ksonnet. They both use jsonnet internally, generate the same k8s resources in the end, and have that common code heritage, so have many similarities. ksonnet/ksonnet has a bunch of extra ("rails-like") tooling to hold your hand while you generate jsonnet, and assumes it uses the k.libsonnet library (https://github.com/ksonnet/ksonnet-lib). ksonnet/kubecfg is much dumber and real
