Chapter 11: Kustomize YAML

After setting up the Helm chart, we’ll reference our four Kubernetes YAML files as resources.

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
metadata:
  name: blazing
resources:
  - namespace.yaml
  - secret.yaml
  - deployment.yaml
  - service.yaml

helmCharts:
  - name: postgresql
    namespace: blazing
    releaseName: postgresql
    repo: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
    version: 16.1.2
    valuesFile: values.yaml

Deploy everything with:

cd deploy
kustomize build --enable-helm . | kubectl apply -f -

Verify the setup with:

k get pod -n blazing

To get access to the API we need to port forward the service to our localhost with

kubectl -n blazing port-forward services/api-service 8080:80

Visit localhost:8080/docs to test the API through its interactive documentation.
