In this section, we will show you how to generate resources from files and compose and customize collections of resources in Kubernetes. You will learn about the declarative management of Kubernetes objects using Kustomize.
Getting ready
Make sure you have a Kubernetes cluster ready and kubectl configured to manage the cluster resources.
The source files created in this section can be found on my GitHub repository located at https://github.com/k8sdevopscookbook/src/tree/master/chapter2/kustomize. It is recommended that you follow the instructions to create and edit them and only use the files in the repository to compare with your files if you run into an issue.

This section is further divided into the following subsections to ease the process:
- Validating the Kubernetes cluster version
