It would be great to have a tar and gzip functions in order archive and compress string content to a tar.gz binary. This would mostly be useful to embed string content that is over the Kubernetes ConfigMap size limit of 1MBytes.
Proposal
The tar function would take as input a map[string][]byte where the key represents a file name and the value represents the file content.
The gzip function would take an array of bytes as input.
Usage Example
It could be used as follow in a Helm chart template:
my_compressed_files.tar.gz: |
{{ .Files.Glob("foo/**") | tar | gzip }}
