Using Kubernetes

Kubernetes components let Atmos render and deploy manifests or Kustomize overlays for each stack. Use them when you want Kubernetes resources to share Atmos stack variables, inheritance, authentication, and deployment ordering with the rest of your infrastructure.

For example, a stack can select a Kustomize overlay and pass environment-specific values to the component:

components:
  kubernetes:
    argocd:
      provider: kustomize
      paths:
        - overlays/dev
      vars:
        namespace: argocd

The argocd key names this component instance. See the Kubernetes stack configuration for supported providers, rendering, hooks, and deployment targets.
