Currently many, if not most, people in the Kubernetes community are writing YAML configuration files by hand, using the data format designed for the API. These files contain a great deal of repetition in any non-trivial environment and writing the data by hand is error prone without the ability to create higher-level abstractions. This Birds of a Feather session would look to discuss this problem, and what higher-level tools may help solve it in the future. In particular we would talk about:

* Why different types of users might prefer different interfaces
* The pros and cons of domain specific languages
* The advantages of abstractions
* The argument that you should just "use a proper programming language"
