# Kustomize
- Kustomize lets us transform YAML files representing Kubernetes resources
- Kustomize lets us transform Kubernetes resources:
- The original YAML files are valid resource files
*YAML + kustomize → new YAML*
(e.g. they can be loaded with `kubectl apply -f`)
- Starting point = valid resource files
- They are left untouched by Kustomize
(i.e. something that we could load with `kubectl apply -f`)
- Kustomize lets us define *kustomizations*
- Recipe = a *kustomization* file
- A *kustomization* is conceptually similar to a *layer*
(describing how to transform the resources)
- Technically, a *kustomization* is a file named `kustomization.yaml`
- Result = new resource files
(or a directory containing that files + additional files)
(that we can load with `kubectl apply -f`)
---
## What's in a kustomization
## Pros and cons
- A kustomization can do any combination of the following:
- Relatively easy to get started
- include other kustomizations
(just get some existing YAML files)
- include Kubernetes resources defined in YAML files
- Easy to leverage existing "upstream" YAML files
- patch Kubernetes resources (change values)
(or other *kustomizations*)
- add labels or annotations to all resources
- Somewhat integrated with `kubectl`
- specify ConfigMaps and Secrets from literal values or local files
(but only "somewhat" because of version discrepancies)
(... And a few more advanced features that we won't cover today!)
- Less complex than e.g. Helm, but also less powerful
- No central index like the Artifact Hub (but is there a need for it?)
---
## Kustomize in a nutshell
- Get some valid YAML (our "resources")
- Write a *kustomization* (technically, a file named `kustomization.yaml`)
- reference our resources
- reference other kustomizations
- add some *patches*
- ...
- Use that kustomization either with `kustomize build` or `kubectl apply -k`
- Write new kustomizations referencing the first one to handle minor differences

## `kubectl apply -k`
## `kubectl` integration
- Kustomize has been integrated in `kubectl`
- Kustomize has been integrated in `kubectl` (since Kubernetes 1.14)
- `kubectl kustomize` can apply a kustomization
- commands that use `-f` can also use `-k` (`kubectl apply`/`delete`/...)
- The `kustomize` tool is still needed if we want to use `create`, `edit`, ...
- Also, warning: `kubectl apply -k` is a slightly older version than `kustomize`!
- Kubernetes 1.14 to 1.20 uses Kustomize 2.0.3
- In recent versions of `kustomize`, bases can be listed in `resources`
- Kubernetes 1.21 jumps to Kustomize 4.1.2
(and `kustomize edit add base` will add its arguments to `resources`)
- Future versions should track Kustomize updates more closely
- `kubectl apply -k` requires bases to be listed in `bases`
---
(so after using `kustomize edit add base`, we need to fix `kustomization.yaml`)
class: extra-details
## Differences between 2.0.3 and later
- Kustomize 2.1 / 3.0 deprecates `bases` (they should be listed in `resources`)
(this means that "modern" `kustomize edit add resource` won't work with "old" `kubectl apply -k`)
- Kustomize 2.1 introduces `replicas` and `envs`
- Kustomize 3.1 introduces multipatches
- Kustomize 3.2 introduce inline patches in `kustomization.yaml`
- Kustomize 3.3 to 3.10 is mostly internal refactoring
- Kustomize 4.0 drops go-getter again
- Kustomize 4.1 allows patching kind and name
---
## Scaling
Instead of using a patch, scaling can be done like this:
```yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
...
replicas:
- name: worker
count: 5
```
It will automatically work with Deployments, ReplicaSets, StatefulSets.
(For other resource types, fall back to a patch.)
---
## Updating images
Instead of using patches, images can be changed like this:
```yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
...
images:
- name: postgres
newName: harbor.enix.io/my-postgres
- name: dockercoins/worker
newTag: v0.2
- name: dockercoins/hasher
newName: registry.dockercoins.io/hasher
newTag: v0.2
- name: alpine
digest: sha256:24a0c4b4a4c0eb97a1aabb8e29f18e917d05abfe1b7a7c07857230879ce7d3d3
```
---
## Updating images, pros and cons
- Very convenient when the same image appears multiple times
- Very convenient to define tags (or pin to hashes) outside of the main YAML
- Doesn't support wildcard or generic substitutions:
- cannot "replace `dockercoins/*` with `ghcr.io/dockercoins/*`"
- cannot "tag all `dockercoins/*` with `v0.2`"
- Only patches "well-known" image fields (won't work with CRDs referencing images)
- Helm can deal with these scenarios, for instance:
```yaml
image: {{ .Values.registry }}/worker:{{ .Values.version }}
```
---
## Advanced resource patching
The example below shows how to:
- patch multiple resources with a selector (new in Kustomize 3.1)
- use an inline patch instead of a separate patch file (new in Kustomize 3.2)
```yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
...
patches:
- patch: |-
- op: replace
path: /spec/template/spec/containers/0/image
value: alpine
target:
kind: Deployment
labelSelector: "app"
```
(This replaces all images of Deployments matching the `app` selector with `alpine`.)
---
## Advanced resource patching, pros and cons
- Very convenient to patch an arbitrary number of resources
- Very convenient to patch any kind of resource, including CRDs
- Doesn't support "fine-grained" patching (e.g. image registry or tag)
- Once again, Helm can do it:
```yaml
image: {{ .Values.registry }}/worker:{{ .Values.version }}
```
---
## Differences with Helm
- Helm charts use placeholders `{{ like.this }}`
- Helm charts generally require more upfront work
- Kustomize "bases" are standard Kubernetes YAML
(while kustomize "bases" are standard Kubernetes YAML)
- It is possible to use an existing set of YAML as a Kustomize base
- ... But Helm charts are also more powerful; their templating language can:
- As a result, writing a Helm chart is more work ...
- conditionally include/exclude resources or blocks within resources
- ... But Helm charts are also more powerful; e.g. they can:
- generate values by concatenating, hashing, transforming parameters
- use flags to conditionally include resources or blocks
- generate values or resources by iteration (`{{ range ... }}`)
- check if a given Kubernetes API group is supported
- access the Kubernetes API during template evaluation
- [and much more](https://helm.sh/docs/chart_template_guide/)
