In this workflow, all configuration (resource YAML) files are owned by the user. No content is incorporated from version control repositories owned by others.

1) create a directory in version control

Speculate some overall cluster application called ldap; we want to keep its configuration in its own repo.

git init ~/ldap

2) create a base

mkdir -p ~/ldap/base

In this directory, create and commit a kustomization file and a set of resources.

3) create overlays

mkdir -p ~/ldap/overlays/staging
mkdir -p ~/ldap/overlays/production

Each of these directories needs a kustomization file and one or more patches.

The staging directory might get a patch that turns on an experiment flag in a configmap.

The production directory might get a patch that increases the replica count in a deployment specified in the base.

4) bring up variants

Run kustomize, and pipe the output to apply.

kustomize build ~/ldap/overlays/staging | kubectl apply -f -
kustomize build ~/ldap/overlays/production | kubectl apply -f -

You can also use kubectl-v1.14.0 to apply your variants.

kubectl apply -k ~/ldap/overlays/staging
kubectl apply -k ~/ldap/overlays/production
