Exclude the loadgenerator

By default, when you deploy Online Boutique, its 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 that rely on the loadgenerator.

Use this component

From the kustomize/ folder at the root level of this repository, execute this command:

kustomize edit add component components/without-loadgenerator

This will update the kustomize/kustomization.yaml file which could be similar to:

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 ..
