Heptio, a company founded by Kubernetes co-creators, blogged about Kubernetes tools, ksonnet, Envoy, and its acquisition by VMware.
HN links it for Kubernetes tooling context, such as an explanation of how ksonnet and kubecfg differ, and for the founding announcement.
(I'm the Heptio CTO)

For those who are as confused as me why Kubecfg exists in the Ksonnet org on Github, when they also have Ksonnet itself, I found this explanation: https://blog.heptio.com/the-next-chapter-for-ksonnet-1dcbbad30cb.
Short summary: They're different but somewhat complementary tools. Kubecfg was made by Bitnami, Ksonnet by Heptio. Kubecfg uses Jsonnet and is less opinioned than Ksonnet, but (as far as I can see) can also use Ksonnet.
