## AI overview

This article explains Koreo, an open-source platform engineering toolkit for Kubernetes. It describes Koreo's approach to Kubernetes configuration management and resource orchestration, and compares it with Helm and Kustomize, including their limitations for complex or dependent deployments.

## Source excerpt

The platform engineering toolkit for Kubernetes Last month we open sourced Koreo, our "platform engineering toolkit for Kubernetes." Since then, we've seen a lot of interest from folks in the platform engineering and DevOps space. We've also gotten a lot of questions from people trying to better understand how Koreo fits into an already crowded landscape of Kubernetes tools. Koreo is a fairly complex tool, so it can be difficult to quickly grasp just what exactly it is_,_ what problems it's designed to solve, and how it compares to other, similar tools. In this post, I want to dive into these topics and also discuss the original motivation behind Koreo.
