Kedge : Simple, Concise & Declarative Kubernetes Applications

Kedge is a simple, easy and declarative way to define and deploy applications to Kubernetes by writing very concise application definitions.

Why do people love Kedge?

• An extension of Kubernetes definitions: Use pre-existing definitions such as Pod or Container within your artifact file.
• Shortcuts: Reduce your file-size and definitions by using intuitive Kedge shortcuts.
• Concise: Define just the necessary bits, Kedge will interpolate and pick the best defaults for your application to run on Kubernetes.
• Define all your containers in one place: Define your containers, services and applications in one simple file, or split them into multiple files.
