This tutorial introduces kpt, an open source tool by Google that lets you work with Kubernetes configurations (also known as manifests): package them, pull them, update them, and modify them. kpt is an alternative to template-based tools when you want to keep a clean separation between configurations and operations on those configurations. kpt lets you reuse and share code that is acting on the configurations (either to modify or inspect them).
