description: The implementation of EDF stacks must be kubernetes provider agnostic by a templating/hydration mechanism

* Type: Proposal
* Owner: Stephan Lo (stephan.lo@telekom.de)
* Reviewers: EDF Architects
* Status: Speculative, revision 0.1
## Background
When booting and reconciling the 'final' stack exectuting orchestrator (here: ArgoCD) needs to get rendered (or hydrated) presentations of the manifests.
It is not possible or unwanted that the orchestrator itself resolves dependencies or configuration values.
## Proposal
The hydration takes place for all target clouds/kubernetes providers. There is no 'default' or 'special' setup, like the Kind version.
## Local development
This implies that in a development process there needs to be a build step hydrating the ArgoCD manifests for the targeted cloud.
## Reference
Discussion from Robert and Stephan-Pierre in the context of stack development - there should be an easy way to have locally changed stacks propagated into the local running platform.
