This SIG group created a set of Go libraries called cli-utils in order to create an abstraction layer for kubectl and it has evolved to support server-side use in GitOps controllers too. The core features of cli-utils for GitOps are the following:

Pruning
Status interpretation
Status lookup
Diff and preview
Waiting for reconciliation
Resource ordering
Explicit dependency ordering
Implicit dependency ordering
Applying time mutation

kapply usage

The Kubernetes SIG team for cli-utils created a CLI called kapply, which is not intended to be for production use, but it gives us a chance to understand the features and how we can better utilize the set of libraries provided in it.

Costea

Costea

Liviu Costea started as a developer in the early 2000 and his career path took him to different roles from Developer to Coding Architect and from Team Lead to CTO. In 2012 he transitioned to DevOps, when at a small company, someone had to start working on pipelines and automation because the traditional way wasn't scalable anymore. In 2018 he started with the Platform Team and then he was the Tech Lead in the Release Team at Mambu, where they designed most of the CI/CD pipelines, adopting GitOps practices. They have been live with Argo CD since 2019. More recently he joined Juni, a promising startup, where they are planning the GitOps adoption. For his contributions to OSS projects, including Argo CD, he was named CNCF Ambassador in August 2020.
