This is a good idea but with simplicity being the value proposition it looks like you have spec files that are roughly the same length as a yaml file I could deploy with k8s. I think it would need to be much much simpler to be more valuable, just my take.

Typically without an abstraction like HyScale, for a micro-service you might end up having to write / maintain a couple of hundred lines of K8s yaml including things like sidecars, ingress, PVCs, config-maps, etc. and linking up these yamls with the right selector-labels, etc.

Whereas the same service can be described in hyscale spec using a few dozen lines. But it's not just about the number of lines, the HyScale hspec is defined in terms of higher-level app-centric entities that are intuitive to most developers.

You also get simpler troubleshooting of deployment errors and worry less about having to maintain compatibility of your K8s manifest yamls with each new K8s version.
