# Use Online Boutique with Kustomize
This page contains instructions on deploying variations of the [Online Boutique](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo) sample application using [Kustomize](https://kustomize.io/). Each variations is designed as a [**Kustomize component**](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/blob/master/examples/components.md), so multiple variations can be composed together in the deployment.
## What is Kustomize?
Kustomize is a Kubernetes configuration management tool that allows users to customize their manifest configurations without duplication. Its commands are built into `kubectl` as `apply -k`. More information on Kustomize can be found on the [official Kustomize website](https://kustomize.io/).
## Prerequisites
Optionally, [install the `kustomize` binary](https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/installation/) to avoid manually editing a `kustomization.yaml` file. Online Boutique's instructions will often use `kustomize edit` (like `kustomize edit add component components/some-component`), but you can skip these commands and instead add components manually to the [`/kustomize/kustomization.yaml` file](/kustomize/kustomization.yaml).
You need to have a Kubernetes cluster where you will deploy the Online Boutique's Kubernetes manifests. To set up a GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) cluster, you can follow the instruction in the [root `/README.md`](/).
## Deploy Online Boutique with Kustomize
1. From the root folder of this repository, navigate to the `kustomize/` directory.
```bash
cd kustomize/
```
1. See what the default Kustomize configuration defined by `kustomize/kustomization.yaml` will generate (without actually deploying them yet).
```bash
kubectl kustomize .
```
1. Apply the default Kustomize configuration (`kustomize/kustomization.yaml`).
```bash
kubectl apply -k .
```
1. Wait for all Pods to show `STATUS` of `Running`.
```bash
kubectl get pods
```
The output should be similar to the following:
```terminal
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
adservice-76bdd69666-ckc5j 1/1 Running 0 2m58s
cartservice-66d497c6b7-dp5jr 1/1 Running 0 2m59s
checkoutservice-666c784bd6-4jd22 1/1 Running 0 3m1s
currencyservice-5d5d496984-4jmd7 1/1 Running 0 2m59s
emailservice-667457d9d6-75jcq 1/1 Running 0 3m2s
frontend-6b8d69b9fb-wjqdg 1/1 Running 0 3m1s
loadgenerator-665b5cd444-gwqdq 1/1 Running 0 3m
paymentservice-68596d6dd6-bf6bv 1/1 Running 0 3m
productcatalogservice-557d474574-888kr 1/1 Running 0 3m
recommendationservice-69c56b74d4-7z8r5 1/1 Running 0 3m1s
shippingservice-6ccc89f8fd-v686r 1/1 Running 0 2m58s
```
_Note: It may take 2-3 minutes before the changes are reflected on the deployment._
1. Access the web frontend in a browser using the frontend's `EXTERNAL_IP`.
```bash
kubectl get service frontend-external | awk '{print $4}'
```
Note: you may see `<pending>` while GCP provisions the load balancer. If this happens, wait a few minutes and re-run the command.
## Deploy Online Boutique variations with Kustomize
Here is the list of the variations available as Kustomize components that you could leverage:
- [**Change to the Cymbal Shops Branding**](components/cymbal-branding)
- Changes all Online Boutique-related branding to Google Cloud's fictitious company — Cymbal Shops. The code adds/enables an environment variable `CYMBAL_BRANDING` in the `frontend` service.
- [**Integrate with Google Cloud Operations**](components/google-cloud-operations)
- Enables Monitoring (Stats), Tracing, and Profiler for various services within Online Boutique. The code adds the appropriare environment variables (`ENABLE_STATS`, `ENABLE_TRACING`, `DISABLE_PROFILER`) for each YAML config file.
- [**Integrate with Memorystore (Redis)**](components/memorystore)
- The default Online Boutique deployment uses the in-cluster `redis` database for storing the contents of its shopping cart. The Memorystore deployment variation overrides the default database with its own Memorystore (Redis) database. These changes directly affect `cartservice`.
- [**Integrate with Spanner**](components/spanner)
- The default Online Boutique deployment uses the in-cluster `redis` database for storing the contents of its shopping cart. The Spanner deployment variation overrides the default database with its own Spanner database. These changes directly affect `cartservice`.
- [**Integrate with AlloyDB**](components/alloydb)
- The default Online Boutique deployment uses the in-cluster `redis` database for storing the contents of its shopping cart. The AlloyDB deployment variation overrides the default database with its own AlloyDB database.
These changes directly affect `cartservice`.
- [**Secure with Network Policies**](components/network-policies)
- Deploy fine granular `NetworkPolicies` for Online Boutique.
- [**Update the registry name of the container images**](components/container-images-registry)
- [**Update the image tag of the container images**](components/container-images-tag)
- [**Add an image tag suffix to the container images**](components/container-images-tag-suffix)
- [**Do not expose the `frontend` publicly**](components/non-public-frontend)
- [**Set the `frontend` to manage only one single shared session**](components/single-shared-session)
- [**Configure `Istio` service mesh resources**](components/service-mesh-istio)
### Select variations
To customize Online Boutique with its variations, you need to update the default `kustomize/kustomization.yaml` file. You could do that manually, use `sed`, or use the `kustomize edit` command like illustrated below.
#### Use `kustomize edit` to select variations
Here is an example with the [**Cymbal Shops Branding**](components/cymbal-branding) variation, from the `kustomize/` folder, run the command below:
```bash
kustomize edit add component components/cymbal-branding
```
You could now combine it with other variations, like for example with the [**Google Cloud Operations**](components/google-cloud-operations) variation:
```bash
kustomize edit add component components/google-cloud-operations
```
### Deploy selected variations
Like explained earlier, you can locally render these manifests by running `kubectl kustomize .` as well as deploying them by running `kubectl apply -k .`.
So for example, the associated `kustomization.yaml` could look like:
```yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- base
components:
- components/cymbal-branding
- components/google-cloud-operations
```
### Use remote Kustomize targets
Kustomize allows you to reference public remote resources so the `kustomization.yaml` could look like:
```yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo/kustomize/base
components:
- github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo/kustomize/components/cymbal-branding
- github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo/kustomize/components/google-cloud-operations
```
