Deploying Kubernetes Manifests with kustomize

If you need more than just static manifests, you can use the Kubernetes-native templating solution provided by kustomize.

After adding a manifest deployment, the configuration for this deployment will look similar to this example:

deployments:
- name: my-deployment
  kubectl:
    manifests:
    - my-manifests/*
    - more-manifests/*

You can easily create a kustomization.yaml file within your my-manifests and within your more-manifests folder and tell DevSpace to deploy these manifest via kustomize by modifying the configuration as follows:

deployments:
- name: my-deployment
  kubectl:
    manifests:
    - my-manifests/
    - more-manifests/
    kustomize: true

This configuration would tell DevSpace to deploy our application with the following commands:

kubectl apply -k manifests/
kubectl apply -k more-manifests/

If you only want one of the folders to be deployed via kustomize, you will need to put them in separate deployment configurations.

Note that the * in the manifests section have been removed in the second config example which is using kustomize: true.
