Tool Open source
Kustomize is a Kubernetes configuration customization tool sponsored by the Kubernetes SIG CLI. It processes raw, template-free YAML without modifying the original files, using declarative kustomization files to combine resources, apply patches and labels, generate resources such as ConfigMaps, and create overlays for development, staging, and production variants. It can wrap separately managed Kubernetes and CRD files and reference external files without copying their full contents into a repository. The resulting YAML can be emitted with `kustomize build` and applied directly with `kubectl`; Kustomize is also integrated into kubectl.
