Ketch is a new and fully open source project for deploying and managing cloud native applications on any Kubernetes cluster *without* writing YAML configuration files. While Kubernetes is now the gold standard orchestrator for containerized and microservices-based applications, operating it requires overcoming a steep learning curve. Traditionally, successful Kubernetes deployments require developers to become experts in Kubernetes concepts, objects, and YAML file writing and management. Open source Ketch eliminates this complexity by deploying applications directly to Kubernetes clusters – rendering YAML files unnecessary and flattening the learning curve for developers. Ketch enables developers to focus on writing code rather than on infrastructure, and to deploy and run applications on Kubernetes with no expertise necessary.
