Kubernetes Resources

Kyku supports managing Kubernetes-native resources alongside your cloud infrastructure. After provisioning a KubernetesCluster resource, you can define workloads, configuration, networking, and storage directly in your Kyku config.

All K8s resources share a common base that links them to a cluster:

Property	Type	Required	Description
cluster	KubernetesCluster | string	✅	The cluster to deploy into
namespace	K8sNamespace | string	❌	Target namespace (defaults to default)
dependsOn	string[]	❌	Explicit dependency ordering

Resource types

Resource	Purpose
K8sNamespace	Isolated environment within the cluster
K8sConfigMap	Non-confidential key-value configuration data
K8sSecret	Sensitive data (credentials, tokens, keys)
K8sPersistentVolumeClaim	Persistent storage request
K8sDeployment	Stateless workload with replicas and rolling updates
K8sStatefulSet	Stateful workload with stable network identity and storage
K8sService	Network endpoint exposing pods
K8sIngress	HTTP/S routing to services
K8sManifest	Raw Kubernetes manifest (inline, file, or directory)
K8sHelmRelease	Helm chart deployment

Dependency graph

K8s resources participate in the Kyku dependency graph. The planner automatically resolves the creation order:

K8sNamespace ──┐
                ├── K8sConfigMap ──┐
                ├── K8sSecret ─────┤
                ├── K8sPersistentVolumeClaim ──┤
                │                              ├── K8sDeployment ──┐
                │                              ├── K8sStatefulSet ─┤
                │                                               ├── K8sService ──┐
                │                                                              ├── K8sIngress
                │
                └── K8sManifest / K8sHelmRelease (independently)
