kustomize-controller

CII Best Practices e2e report license release

The kustomize-controller is a Flux component, specialized in running continuous delivery pipelines for infrastructure and workloads defined with Kubernetes manifests and assembled with Kustomize.

The cluster desired state is described through a Kubernetes Custom Resource named Kustomization. Based on the creation, mutation or removal of a Kustomization resource in the cluster, the controller performs actions to reconcile the cluster current state with the desired state.

overview

Features

  • watches for Kustomization objects
  • fetches artifacts produced by source-controller from Source objects
  • watches Source objects for revision changes
  • generates the kustomization.yaml file if needed
  • generates Kubernetes manifests with Kustomize SDK
  • decrypts Kubernetes secrets with Mozilla SOPS and KMS
  • validates the generated manifests with Kubernetes server-side apply dry-run
  • detects drift between the desired and state and cluster state
  • corrects drift by patching objects with Kubernetes server-side apply
  • prunes the Kubernetes objects removed from source
  • checks the health of the deployed workloads
  • runs Kustomizations in a specific order, taking into account the depends-on relationship
  • notifies whenever a Kustomization status changes
