# kustomize
|
|
|
|
`kustomize` lets you customize raw, template-free YAML
|
|
files for multiple purposes, leaving the original YAML
|
|
untouched and usable as is.
|
|
|
|
`kustomize` targets kubernetes; it understands and can
|
|
patch [kubernetes style] API objects. It's like
|
|
[`make`], in that what it does is declared in a file,
|
|
and it's like [`sed`], in that it emits editted text.
|
|
|
|
This tool is sponsored by [sig-cli] ([KEP]), and
|
|
inspired by [DAM].

|
**Installation**: Download a binary from the [release
|
|
page], or see these [install] notes. Then try one of
|
|
the tested [examples].
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 1) Make a [kustomization] file
|
|
|
|
In some directory containing your YAML [resource]
|
|
files (deployments, services, configmaps, etc.), create a
|
|
[kustomization] file.
|
|
|
|
This file should declare those resources, and any
|
|
customization to apply to them, e.g. _add a common
|
|
label_.
|
|
|
|
![base image][imageBase]
|
|
|
|
File structure:
|
|
|
|
> ```
|
|
> ~/someApp
|
|
> ├── deployment.yaml
|
|
> ├── kustomization.yaml
|
|
> └── service.yaml
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
The resources in this directory could be a fork of
|
|
someone else's configuration. If so, you can easily
|
|
rebase from the source material to capture
|
|
improvements, because you don't modify the resources
|
|
directly.
|
|
|
|
Generate customized YAML with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
kustomize build ~/someApp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The YAML can be directly [applied] to a cluster:
|
|
|
|
> ```
|
|
> kustomize build ~/someApp | kubectl apply -f -
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2) Create [variants] using [overlays]
|
|
|
|
Manage traditional [variants] of a configuration - like
|
|
_development_, _staging_ and _production_ - using
|
|
[overlays] that modify a common [base].
|
|
|
|
![overlay image][imageOverlay]
|
|
|
|
File structure:
|
|
> ```
|
|
> ~/someApp
|
|
> ├── base
|
|
> │ ├── deployment.yaml
|
|
> │ ├── kustomization.yaml
|
|
> │ └── service.yaml
|
|
> └── overlays
|
|
> ├── development
|
|
> │ ├── cpu_count.yaml
|
|
> │ ├── kustomization.yaml
|
|
> │ └── replica_count.yaml
|
|
> └── production
|
|
> ├── cpu_count.yaml
|
|
> ├── kustomization.yaml
|
|
> └── replica_count.yaml
|
|
> ```
|
|
|
|
Take the work from step (1) above, move it into a
|
|
`someApp` subdirectory called `base`, then
|
|
place overlays in a sibling directory.
|
|
|
|
An overlay is just another kustomization, refering to
|
|
the base, and referring to patches to apply to that
|
|
base.
|
|
|
|
This arrangement makes it easy to manage your
|
|
configuration with `git`. The base could have files
|
|
from an upstream repository managed by someone else.
|
|
The overlays could be in a repository you own.
|
|
Arranging the repo clones as siblings on disk avoids
|
|
the need for git submodules (though that works fine, if
|
|
you are a submodule fan).
|
|
|
|
Generate YAML with
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
kustomize build ~/someApp/overlays/production
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The YAML can be directly [applied] to a cluster:
|
|
|
|
> ```sh
|
|
> kustomize build ~/someApp/overlays/production | kubectl apply -f -
|
|
> ```
