What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI wrote something like that for Kubernetes, called Matsuri: https://github.com/shopappsio/matsuri
I had tried Compose in a previous incarnation of Matsuri, but Compose has flaws in it that Kubernetes solves.
In A Docker Container Pattern – Compose ConfigurationThis is a great read. It's a fairly coherent summary of the things I intuitively felt great about Kubernetes, and discusses it plainly and explicitly.
Towards the end of the article, the authors mention the open challenges.
Unbeknownst to me, I had been working on something that attempts to address some of that. It is my sixth attempt at a tool like this. It came out from when I saw how many dev environments attempting to use Docker Compose ended up with a large, ad-hoc collection of Bash scripts.
The project is called Matsuri, and it is found here: https://github.com/shopappsio/matsuri
It's intended as a framework for programmatically generating manifests and executing kubectl commands. It doesn't try to have a lot of opinions (at least, opinions that you can't change). The idea is that your platform support tool is like any other app, a

nd should be tailored to your specific collection of apps.
It also has a notion of Apps, which are a bundle of K8S resources declared as dependencies. But that's as far as I gotten -- it has a fairly anemic convergence tool. I was more concerned about standardizing builds, pushes, updates (collection of rollouts, migrations, etc.), shell commands, "console" commands, etc. These are all achieved by expecting Apps to define callback hooks for those actions.
I don't know if this is useful or interesting to anyone else. But if anyone is interested, feel free to contact me about it.
