Kustomize

Kubernetes-native configuration management system. Customize Kubernetes objects through overlays without modifying original YAML files.

Key Features

• Template-free: Pure YAML customization
• Overlays: Environment-specific configurations
• Built-in to kubectl: Native Kubernetes integration
• Reusability: Base and overlay pattern
• GitOps: Works well with CI/CD pipelines

My Experience

Managed Kubernetes configurations with Kustomize, maintained environment-specific overlays, and integrated with GitOps workflows.
