It was originally designed to configure Borg, the predecessor of Kubernetes. In fact, the original idea was to use graph unification as used in CUE for GCL. One of the authors of GCL had extensive experience with such systems and experienced the benefit of being able to compute and reason with types for the creation of powerful tooling...
