Yake — Installer and lifecycle tool for Gardener

Yake is a GitOps-based tool for installing and managing the lifecycle of Gardener. It enables fast, reliable deployments as well as easy updates and maintenance. Built on Flux, it continuously reconciliates the system state with the declarative Git configuration, providing full control over the configuration and operational state of the Gardener installation.
