As you can see above, I have prod environment with namesapce-a and namespace-b and few more.
To create deployment for all, I can simply run the below command:
> kustomize k8s/overlays/prod
Which works flawlessly, both namespaces are created along with other deployment files for all deployments.
To create a deployment for only namespace-a:
> kustomize k8s/overlays/prod/namespace-a
That also works. :)
But that's not where the story ends for me at-least.
I would like to keep the current functionality and be able to deploy deployment-a1, deployment-a2 ...
> kustomize k8s/overlays/prod/namespace-a/deployment-a1
If I put the namespace.yaml inside deployment-a1 folder and add it in kustomization.yaml
then the above command works but previous 2 fails with error because now we have 2 namespace files with same name.
I have 2 queries.
- Can this directory structure be improved?
- How can I create namesapce with single deployment without breaking the other functionality?
