Config maps, enough said. I have a CD pipeline that writes environment variables to files, Kustomize eats them up and creates a configmap, environment variables in the deployment reference the config map, done.
Kapp as a layer on top of Kustomize is showing some progress. Ultimately Kustomize is like every other resource bundled with k8s, it’s a building block for higher level tooling.
