Based upon the Kubernetes the Hard Way project.

stackql-deploy is a multi cloud deployment automation and testing framework which is an alternative to Terraform or similar IaC tools. stackql-deploy uses a declarative model/ELT based approach to cloud resource deployment (inspired by dbt). Advantages of stackql-deploy include:

• declarative framework
• no state file (state is determined from the target environment)
• multi-cloud/omni-cloud ready
• includes resource tests which can include secure config tests

stackql-deploy is installed as a python based CLI using...

pip install stackql-deploy

Once installed, use the init command to scaffold a sample project directory to get started:

stackql-deploy init k8s-the-hard-way

this will create a directory named k8s-the-hard-way which can be updated for your stack, as you can see in this project.

export GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS=$(cat ./creds.json)
# deploy a stack
stackql-deploy build \
k8s-the-hard-way \
dev \
-e GOOGLE_PROJECT=stackql-k8s-the-hard-way-demo \
--dry-run \
--log-leve DEBUG

# test a stack
stackql-deploy test \

# teardown a stack
stackql-deploy teardown \
