Introduction to Kustomize
Workshop
Running Kubernetes applications across multiple environments creates a familiar challenge: YAML files that differ between dev, staging, and production in only a few values, yet must be fully copied and maintained. Kustomize solves this problem without templates and without additional tools. On day one, you learn Kustomize from the ground up: you create your first kustomization.yaml, work with bases and overlays for multiple environments, and use transformers to centrally manage labels, namespaces, and image tags. By the end of the day, you deploy an application with three environment variants
