+# Exclude the loadgenerator
+
+By default, when you deploy Online Boutique, its [loadgenerator](/src/loadgenerator/) will also be deployed.
+
+You can use this Kustomize component to exclude the loadgenerator.
+
+Note: This Kustomize component has not been tested with [other Kustomize Components](/kustomize/components/) that rely on the loadgenerator.
+
+## Use this component
+
+From the `kustomize/` folder at the root level of this repository, execute this command:
+
+```bash
+kustomize edit add component components/without-loadgenerator
+```
+
+This will update the `kustomize/kustomization.yaml` file which could be similar to:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
+kind: Kustomization
+resources:
+- base
+components:
+- components/without-loadgenerator
+```
+
+You can then deploy Online Boutique and this component to your cluster using `kubectl apply -k .`. If you just want to render the YAML manifest (without deploying to your cluster), run `kubectl kustomize .`.
+
