How I can use pipeline just to run the kubectl kustomize command to change the repo file

[Yogesh]

The use case is to run the pipeline, use kubectl kustomize command to create a K8s deployment file and push the changes back to repo.

I looked into the different existing pipeline like kubectl-run and aws-eks-kubectl-run but those required the k8s cluster should be defined/running and not working just to create a deployment file using kustomize.

May be I don't know how to use these existing pipeline for implementing my use case, if so please guide us or please suggest some alternative solution for the use case

@Yogesh . Thanks for your question.

There is no pipe to cover your case. You can try something like this:

Create and use your own docker image with kubectl command

Then run in the pipelines configuration yml what commands you need:

image:
  name: <your docker image with kubectl>


test: &test
  step:
    name: test
    script:
    - kubectl apply ...<what you need>

 Alternative way is to use some default image and install kubectl in pipeline:

image:
  name: atlassian/default-image:3


test: &test
  step:
    name: test
    script:
    - <install kubectl via guide above>
    - kubectl apply ...<what you need>
