Kustomize beta
Rendering with kustomize
kustomize allows Kubernetes
developers to customize raw, template-free YAML files for multiple purposes.
Skaffold can work with kustomize by calling its command-line interface.
Configuration
To use kustomize with Skaffold, add render type kustomize to the manifests
section of skaffold.yaml.
The kustomize configuration accepts a list of paths to folders containing a kustomize.yaml file.
Example
The following manifests section instructs Skaffold to render
artifacts using kustomize. Each entry should point to a folder with a kustomize.yaml file.
manifests:
kustomize:
paths:
- path/to/folder-with-kustomize-dot-yaml
Note
kustomize CLI must be installed on your machine. Skaffold will not install it.
