Raw YAML beta
Rendering with raw YAML
In the case that your project does not currently use a render engine
(helm, kustomize, kpt, etc), the rawYaml renderer should be used. This instructs
skaffold to only do it’s own yaml field replacement (image: and labels: modifications) and
not to use any additional render engine.
Configuration
To use rawYaml, add render type rawYaml to the manifests section of
skaffold.yaml.
The rawYaml configuration accepts a list of paths to your manifests with glob syntax supported.
Note
rawYaml in enabled by default, and has a default parameter of ['k8s/*.yaml'].
Example
The following manifests section instructs Skaffold to render
artifacts using rawYaml. Each entry should point to YAML manifest file and supports glob syntax:
manifests:
rawYaml:
- k8s-*
