by Varsha Munishwar — Nov 15, 2022

Welcome to Part 2 of the “Getting started with ytt” tutorial series! ¶

In this part, we will cover the following:

• Summary of Part 1
• Dive into a slightly more involved scenario to solve a common problem in Kubernetes
• Learn why some set of labels are required to be in sync
• Introduce a ytt feature to avoid misconfigurations due to manual edits

Getting started with ytt - Part 2 ¶

Note:

• The key moments/timestamps are available if you watch on youtube. Please click on “more” and “view all”.
• Here is the sample deployment configuration that is used in this tutorial to deploy the application on kubernetes cluster.
• Visit the documentation for more information on functions in ytt.
• In this tutorial, we are deploying the application on Kubernetes using Carvel’s deployment tool called kapp. If you are interested to know more, here is the link.

Happy Templating :)

We would love to know if there are other Carvel topics, either ytt-specific or any of our other tools (imgpkg, kapp, kapp-controller, kbld, secretgen-controller, vendir, ytt), that you would like to see as a tutorial by reaching out to us in either in one of the channels listed in the section below, or on Twitter @carvel_dev or emailing us with your suggestion.
