Kustomize Your Operator
Lightningat ContainerCon @ Open Source Summit Europe 2024 · on Monday, 2024-09-16· at 14:15· Room 0.14 (Level 0)·
summary
An operator builds a kustomization at runtime: it embeds base manifests for all workload resources and converts user settings into patches (including a po template for pod-level overrides) which it applies to the API. This enables full per-resource customization, quick iteration and easy rollback, and ad-hoc workarounds without re-releases, at the cost of requiring stability or migration of deployed resource shapes; server-side-apply remains supported.
