`kustomize` is a command line tool supporting
template-free customization of declarative
configuration targetted to kubernetes.
## Installation
Assumes [Go](https://golang.org/) is installed
and your `PATH` contains `$GOPATH/bin`:
<!-- @installkustomize @test -->
```
go get k8s.io/kubectl/cmd/kustomize
```
## Usage
#### 1) Make a base
A [base] configuration is a [kustomization] file listing a set of
k8s [resources] - deployments, services, configmaps,
secrets that serve some common purpose.
![base image][imageBase]
#### 2) Customize it with overlays
An [overlay] customizes your base along different dimensions
for different purposes or different teams, e.g. for
_development, staging and production_.
![overlay image][imageOverlay]
#### 3) Run kustomize
Run kustomize on your overlay. The result
is printed to `stdout` as a set of complete
resources, ready to be [applied] to a cluster.
