How Hubctl helps manage IaC deployments.
summary
Hubctl claims to stop fragile glue code by treating deployments as reusable components with a manifest that declares inputs, outputs and verbs, and by orchestrating real tools: terraform, kustomize, helm, ARM templates. It bundles a reproducible toolbox image for CI, supports templating/hooks, protects shared Kubernetes resources (namespaces/CRDs), and stores deployment state externally; it issues temporary domains (72‑hour) and wires outputs between components so multi‑tool stacks deploy reliably rather than breaking on integration.
