Extensions

Extensions are a way to make local modifications to resources without having to constantly struggle with merge conflicts when pulling from upstream. The idea is to keep your custom code in a separate function (located in the extensions folder) where there would almost never be updates in upstream.

An example of needing extensions would be to add custom labels to a deployment that does not exist in the deployment we are cloning. The procedure is documented in the extension package doc file.

note

If you are building your own operator make sure you modify the image name in the manifests to match your registry.

Extensions are currently implemented only for Deployments but could be added to other resources types in the future.
