I wish for k8s 2.0 to be less verbose when it comes to deploying anything on it.

I want to be able to say in two or five lines of YAML:

- run this as 3 pods with a max of 5

- map port 80 to this load balancer

- use this environment variables

I don't really care if it's YAML or HCL. Moving from YAML to HCL it's going to be an endless issue of "I forgot to close a curly bracket somewhere" versus "I missed an ident somewhere".

Helm does that, kinda. I use the bitnami base chart for my own deployments and it works pretty well.
