Describe request or inquiry

• Kustomize 5.0.0 was released Feb 2023. The release notes mention:

  We are deprecating the following kustomization fields. These fields will never be removed from the kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1 Kustomization API, but they will not be included in the kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1 Kustomization API. When Kustomization v1 is available, we will announce the deprecation of the v1beta1 version. There will be at least two releases between deprecation and removal of Kustomization v1beta1 support from the kustomize CLI, and removal itself will happen in a future major version bump.

  • patchesStrategicMerge. Please use patches instead
  • patchesJson6902. Please use patches instead
  • vars. Please use replacements instead.
  • imageTags. This is an alias for images, please switch to images.

• Today, Online Boutique uses patchesStrategicMerge and patchesJson6902. We should replace the use of these fields with patches.

What purpose/environment will this feature serve?

• This impacts a few of our Kustomize components.
