Overview
Kustomize traverses a Kubernetes manifest to
add, remove or update configuration options without forking. It is
available both as a standalone binary and as a native feature of kubectl.
Purely declarative approach to configuration customization
Natively built into kubectl
Manage an arbitrary number of distinctly customized Kubernetes configurations
Available as a standalone binary for extension and integration into other services
Every artifact that kustomize uses is plain YAML and can be validated and processed as such
Kustomize encourages a fork/modify/rebase workflow
