FAQ
Does Kubernetes accept JSON manifests?
Yes. kubectl apply -f works with both YAML and JSON files. The API server only speaks JSON -- kubectl converts YAML to JSON before sending.
Why do people use YAML for K8s if the API uses JSON?
YAML is more readable and supports comments. It is the community convention for human-written manifests. JSON is used for programmatic generation and API interactions.
