Watch-outs
No watch-outs from GStars' checks.
General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score
From the README
kustomizelets you customize raw, template-free YAML files for multiple purposes, leaving the original YAML untouched and usable as is.
kustomizetargets 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 edited text.This tool is sponsored by sig-cli (KEP).
To find the kustomize version embedded in recent versions of kubectl, run
kubectl version:The kustomize build flow at v2.0.3 was added to kubectl v1.14. The kustomize flow in kubectl remained frozen at v2.0.3 until kubectl v1.21, which updated it to v4.0.5. It will be updated on a regular basis going forward, and such updates will be reflected in the Kubernetes release notes.
For examples and guides for using the kubectl integration please see the kubernetes documentation.
