ks prototype

Instantiate, inspect, and get examples for ksonnet prototypes

Synopsis

Use the prototype subcommands to manage, inspect, instantiate, and get examples for ksonnet prototypes.

Prototypes are pre-written but incomplete Kubernetes manifests, with "holes" (parameters) that can be filled in with the ksonnet CLI or manually. For example, the prototype io.ksonnet.pkg.single-port-deployment requires a name and image, and the ksonnet CLI can expand this into a fully-formed 'Deployment' object.

These complete manifests are output into your components/ directory. In other words, prototypes provide the basis for the components of your app. You can use prototypes to autogenerate boilerplate code and focus on customizing them for your use case.
