We've added support for Validators in v0.101.0. Validators are useful to enforce policies and ensure consistency early in the process. This feature addresses two primary use cases:

  1. Prevent insecure configuration early in the process. For example, prevent Helm from rendering a Secret which would otherwise be committed to version control.
  2. Prevent unsafe configuration by validating manifests against Kubernetes core and custom resource type definitions.

Check out the Validators tutorial for examples of both use cases.

Validators complete the core functionality of the Holos manifest rendering pipeline. We are seeking design partners to help enhance Generators and Transformers. Validators are implemented using a generic Command kind, and we're considering a similar kind for Generators and Transformers. Please connect with us if you'd like to help design these enhancements.
