kpt live apply and yaml/json files which aren't kubernetes kind but are into the kpt package

[christ...@gmail.com]

Hi guys,

first: Congratulations for this amazing tool!

Recently I've been working with kpt in order to package a bundle of tools to monitoring Kubernetes: https://github.com/slashdevops/kube-visibility  (the kpt implementation is inside pkg folder)

This is like kube-prometheus but instead of use jsonnnet I used kustomize and since 2 days ago kpt.

I was trying to implement a "bluerprint" as you mention here: https://googlecontainertools.github.io/kpt/guides/producer/blueprint/ with amazing results.

But I notice a problem into my package with "kpt live apply" command,  this is because I used a lot of "json" and "yaml" files in conjunction with kustomize generators (configMaps and secrets)

see:

* https://github.com/slashdevops/kube-visibility/blob/master/pkg/upstream/grafana/kustomization.yaml

in the beginning, I started to refactor all the "yaml" files implementing the technique of change the name of files on the fly:

        - name: config

          configMap:

            name: prometheus-adapter-configuration

            items:

            - key: config-yaml.txt

              path: config.yaml    

see: 

* https://github.com/slashdevops/kube-visibility/blob/master/pkg/upstream/prometheus-adapter/kustomization.yaml

* https://github.com/slashdevops/kube-visibility/tree/master/pkg/upstream/prometheus-adapter/configmap-content

* https://github.com/slashdevops/kube-visibility/blob/master/pkg/upstream/prometheus-adapter/deployment.yaml

But I notice that this is not exactly what I want to do, works but it is not clear at all.

so, Are you thinking about how to manage this problem?

what I mean, how to identify yaml/json files that are some kind of kubernetes element and not kubernetes elements?

Thanks again for this amazing tool!

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your enthusiasm about kpt. I'm going to do some research before answering your question. But I wanted to let you know that I've seen it, and I will be responding soon.

Cheers,

Sean Sullivan
