+# Declarative vs imperative
+
+- Kubernetes puts a very strong emphasis on being *declarative*
+
+- Declarative:
+
+  *I want a cup of tea. Make it happen.*
+
+- Imperative:
+
+  *Boil some water. Pour it in a teapot. Add tea leaves. Steep for a while. Serve in cup.*
+
+--
+
+- Declarative seems simpler at first ... 
+
+--
+
+- ... As long as you know how to brew tea

+## Declarative vs imperative
+
+- What declarative would really be:
+
+  *I want a cup of tea, obtained by pouring an infusion¹ of tea leaves in a cup.*
+
+--
+
+  *¹An infusion is obtained by letting the object steep a few minutes in hot² water.*

+## Declarative vs imperative
+
+- Imperative systems:
+
+  - simpler
+
+  - if a task is interrupted, we have to restart from scratch
+
+- Declarative systems:
+
+  - if a task is interrupted (or if we show up to the party half-way through),
+    we can figure out what's missing and do only what's necessary
+
+  - we need to be able to *observe* the system
+
+  - ... and compute a "diff" between *what we have* and *what we want*
+
+---
+
+## Declarative vs imperative in Kubernetes
+
+- Virtually everything we create in Kubernetes is created from a *spec*
+
+- Watch for the `spec` fields in the YAML files later!
+
+- The *spec* describes *how we want the thing to be*
+
+- Kubernetes will *reconcile* the current state with the spec
+  <br/>(technically, this is done by a number of *controllers*)
+
+- When we want to change some resource, we update the *spec*
+
+- Kubernetes will then *converge* that resource
