While teams typically manage changes to code using version control systems like Git, Kubernetes configuration files are often overlooked and treated as less important. This is because managing changes to configuration can be tedious and prone to errors, especially when dealing with complex applications. To address this, tools like Helm and Kustomize have been developed to help manage changes to configuration files. These tools allow for templating and versioning of configuration files, making it easier to track changes and maintain consistency across environments. Additionally, Humanitec takes a different approach by managing configuration alongside the environment it is intended for, avoiding the need for reconciling merging towards a single source of truth. By using these tools and approaches, teams can improve their ability to manage changes to configuration files and reduce the risk of errors or inconsistencies in their Kubernetes environments.
