• Templating systems intermingle code and configuration, making it difficult to scale and create reusable pieces of code
• Configuration as data adds structure to configurations, enabling highly reusable tools
• The Nephele project aims to implement this vision by building an orchestration cluster with APIs that sit on top of the storage layer to manage configurations
• The project uses Kubernetes controllers to operate on top of configurations, which are packaged in KRM and can be cloned and modified with automation and human inputs
• The tracking of upstream and cloning of packages enables automation of day two operations and the creation of individual automations that understand narrow tasks
• The use of configuration as data and the Nephele project can enable highly scalable and efficient management of Edge applications
