Hi Juraj, nice writeup. Two things:

  • you may want to consider opening a PR to add Cyclops to the list of community tools built on Helm, at helm.sh/docs/community/related/. Feel free to ping me in #helm-dev channel in kubernetes slack.
  • have you considered adding post-rendering functionality to Cyclops? I imagine this may be the opposite of what you want, since it's about opening up options not available in values.yaml, while Cyclops allows you to limit to only a subset of those. But I could also imagine some combo could be effective for certain use cases.

Hey Scott, thanks for the comment. We will open the PR this week and link it in the k8s slack, as mentioned :)

As for post-rendering, we definitely want to implement something like this in Cyclops. We were thinking about adding it a while ago but decided to wait until we shipped a more stable release of Cyclops. Thanks for the nudge!
We will take some time to find the best way to integrate it.

Cheers!
