About this course
This course develops practical capability in Kustomize. Its course-specific content covers Kustomization structure, Resource transformations, Patches and overlays, Configuration generators, followed by an applied project focused on manage kubernetes environment overlays. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Kustomize or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of gitops & cloud native. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Manage Kubernetes environment overlays
Deliver manage kubernetes environment overlays. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
