Install kustomize

Kustomize lets you customize raw, template-free YAML files for multiple purposes, leaving the original YAML untouched and usable as is.

We will be using kustomize to create more targeted patches that make our code easier to factor, understand, and reuse.

Install kustomize for Linux:

curl --silent --location --remote-name \
"https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/releases/download/kustomize/v3.2.3/kustomize_kustomize.v3.2.3_linux_amd64" && \
chmod a+x kustomize_kustomize.v3.2.3_linux_amd64 && \
sudo mv kustomize_kustomize.v3.2.3_linux_amd64 /usr/local/bin/kustomize

Verify the install with:
