kustomize: Set an image in the kustomization file.
$ kustomize edit set image ${busybox=alpine:3-6}
try on your machine

The command kustomize edit set image ${busybox=alpine:3-6} uses the kustomize tool to edit a Kubernetes configuration file (kustomization file) and set the image for a specific resource.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • kustomize: This is the command-line tool used for Kubernetes customization. It allows you to manage and generate Kubernetes configuration files.
  • edit: This is a subcommand of kustomize used to modify an existing configuration file.
  • set image: This is a directive that specifies that the operation is about modifying an image within the configuration file.
  • ${busybox=alpine:3-6}: This is the key-value pair that represents the image modification. In this case, it sets the image of the resource with the name busybox to alpine:3-6. The $ syntax is used by kustomize to reference variables or field references from the existing configuration.

Overall, this command would modify the Kubernetes configuration file and replace the image of the busybox resource with the alpine:3-6 image.
