Serialization

The GCP lexicon serializes resources into Config Connector YAML manifests (Kubernetes CRDs).

Building

Run chant build to produce Config Connector YAML from your declarations:

chant build
# Writes dist/manifests.yaml

The generated manifests include:

• apiVersion and kind (Config Connector CRD)
• metadata with name, labels, and annotations
• spec with the resource configuration

Key conversions

Chant (TypeScript)	YAML output	Rule
export const myBucket = new StorageBucket({...})	metadata.name: my-bucket	Export name → kebab-case
defaultLabels({...})	Merged into all resources	Project-wide label injection
defaultAnnotations({...})	Merged into all resources	Project-wide annotation injection

Applying

Apply to a Kubernetes cluster with Config Connector installed:

# Dry run
kubectl apply -f dist/manifests.yaml --dry-run=server

# Apply
kubectl apply -f dist/manifests.yaml

Compatibility

The output is compatible with:

• kubectl apply/diff
• Config Connector controller on GKE
• ArgoCD / Flux GitOps controllers
• Kustomize (as a base)
