# Demo: hello world with variants

Steps:

 1. Clone an existing configuration as a [base].
 1. Customize it.
 1. Create two different [overlays] (_staging_ and _production_)
    from the customized base.
 1. Run kustomize and kubectl to deploy staging and production.

First define a place to work:

<!-- @makeWorkplace @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
DEMO_HOME=$(mktemp -d)
```

Alternatively, use

> ```
> DEMO_HOME=~/hello
> ```

## Establish the base

Let's run the [hello] service.

To use [overlays] to create [variants], we must
first establish a common [base].

To keep this document shorter, the base resources are
off in a supplemental data directory rather than
declared here as HERE documents.  Download them:

<!-- @downloadBase @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
BASE=$DEMO_HOME/base
mkdir -p $BASE

curl -s -o "$BASE/#1.yaml" "https://raw.githubusercontent.com\
/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize\
/master/examples/helloWorld\
/{configMap,deployment,kustomization,service}.yaml"
```

Look at the directory:

<!-- @runTree -->
```
tree $DEMO_HOME
```

Expect something like:

> ```
> /tmp/tmp.IyYQQlHaJP
> └── base
>     ├── configMap.yaml
>     ├── deployment.yaml
>     ├── kustomization.yaml
>     └── service.yaml
> ```


One could immediately apply these resources to a
cluster:

> ```
> kubectl apply -k $DEMO_HOME/base
> ```

to instantiate the _hello_ service.  `kubectl`
would only recognize the resource files.

### The Base Kustomization

The `base` directory has a [kustomization] file:

<!-- @showKustomization @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
more $BASE/kustomization.yaml
```

Optionally, run `kustomize` on the base to emit
customized resources to `stdout`:

<!-- @buildBase @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
kustomize build $BASE
```

### Customize the base

A first customization step could be to change the _app
label_ applied to all resources:

<!-- @addLabel @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
sed -i.bak 's/app: hello/app: my-hello/' \
    $BASE/kustomization.yaml
```

See the effect:
<!-- @checkLabel @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
kustomize build $BASE | grep -C 3 app:
```

## Create Overlays

Create a _staging_ and _production_ [overlay]:

 * _Staging_ enables a risky feature not enabled in production.
 * _Production_ has a higher replica count.
 * Web server greetings from these cluster
   [variants] will differ from each other.

<!-- @overlayDirectories @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
OVERLAYS=$DEMO_HOME/overlays
mkdir -p $OVERLAYS/staging
mkdir -p $OVERLAYS/production
```

#### Staging Kustomization

In the `staging` directory, make a kustomization
defining a new name prefix, and some different labels.

<!-- @makeStagingKustomization @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
cat <<'EOF' >$OVERLAYS/staging/kustomization.yaml
namePrefix: staging-
commonLabels:
  variant: staging
  org: acmeCorporation
commonAnnotations:
  note: Hello, I am staging!
resources:
- ../../base
patchesStrategicMerge:
- map.yaml
EOF
```

#### Staging Patch

Add a configMap customization to change the server
greeting from _Good Morning!_ to _Have a pineapple!_

Also, enable the _risky_ flag.

<!-- @stagingMap @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
cat <<EOF >$OVERLAYS/staging/map.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: the-map
data:
  altGreeting: "Have a pineapple!"
  enableRisky: "true"
EOF
```

#### Production Kustomization

In the production directory, make a kustomization
with a different name prefix and labels.

<!-- @makeProductionKustomization @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
cat <<EOF >$OVERLAYS/production/kustomization.yaml
namePrefix: production-
commonLabels:
  variant: production
  org: acmeCorporation
commonAnnotations:
  note: Hello, I am production!
resources:
- ../../base
patchesStrategicMerge:
- deployment.yaml
EOF
```


#### Production Patch

Make a production patch that increases the replica
count (because production takes more traffic).

<!-- @productionDeployment @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
cat <<EOF >$OVERLAYS/production/deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: the-deployment
spec:
  replicas: 10
EOF
```

## Compare overlays


`DEMO_HOME` now contains:

 - a _base_ directory - a slightly customized clone
   of the original configuration, and

 - an _overlays_ directory, containing the kustomizations
   and patches required to create distinct _staging_
   and _production_ [variants] in a cluster.

Review the directory structure and differences:

<!-- @listFiles -->
```
tree $DEMO_HOME
```

Expecting something like:

> ```
> /tmp/tmp.IyYQQlHaJP1
> ├── base
> │   ├── configMap.yaml
> │   ├── deployment.yaml
> │   ├── kustomization.yaml
> │   └── service.yaml
> └── overlays
>     ├── production
>     │   ├── deployment.yaml
>     │   └── kustomization.yaml
>     └── staging
>         ├── kustomization.yaml
>         └── map.yaml
> ```

Compare the output directly
to see how _staging_ and _production_ differ:

<!-- @compareOutput -->
```
diff \
  <(kustomize build $OVERLAYS/staging) \
  <(kustomize build $OVERLAYS/production) |\
  more
```

The first part of the difference output should look
something like

> ```diff
> <   altGreeting: Have a pineapple!
> <   enableRisky: "true"
> ---
> >   altGreeting: Good Morning!
> >   enableRisky: "false"
> 8c8
> <     note: Hello, I am staging!
> ---
> >     note: Hello, I am production!
> 11c11
> <     variant: staging
> ---
> >     variant: production
> 13c13
> (...truncated)
> ```


## Deploy

The individual resource sets are:

<!-- @buildStaging @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
kustomize build $OVERLAYS/staging
```

<!-- @buildProduction @testAgainstLatestRelease -->
```
kustomize build $OVERLAYS/production
```

To deploy, pipe the above commands to kubectl apply:

> ```
> kustomize build $OVERLAYS/staging |\
>     kubectl apply -f -
> ```

> ```
> kustomize build $OVERLAYS/production |\
>    kubectl apply -f -
> ```
