Kubenix: Declare Your K8s Workloads Fully Declarative
Kubenix allows the generation of Kubernetes manifests by leveraging Nix modules. On top of OpenAPI, Kubenix exposes the core Kubernetes API for the functional language Nix. This enables a fully declarative description of Kubernetes workloads with the best reproducibility, thus making YAML templating obsolete.
Kubenix’s Helm wrapper provides access to the large ecosystem of the de-facto package manager for Kubernetes while preserving Nix’s qualities. With the ability to build reproducible OCI container images with Nix, Kubenix both simplifies and improves the definition of Kubernetes workloads.
After briefly introducing Nix itself, this talk will showcase Kubenix with practical use cases ranging from simple Kubernetes manifests to complex application stacks.
Let’s make our Kubernetes workloads both declarative and reproducible!

Nixing Challenges of Kubernetes Packaging with Nix
Software supply chain management (SSCM) systems should provide software bill of materials (SBOM) and auditability as well as scanning for vulnerabilities and licensing conflicts.
Furthermore, it should offer flexible configuration options and the ability to define comprehensive specifications e.g. for regulatory compliance and every change should undergo a quality assurance (QA) process.
These requirements are addressed by Nix, a functional language and package manager allowing to create reproducible, declarative, and reliable builds.
We present a packaging of Kubernetes manifests based on Nix and show how this enrichs the features of SSCM and improve reliability and operational safety.
