Specify the build section to control how images are built and tagged.

  local:
    useDockerCLI: false
    useBuildkit: true

Specify the deploy section to determine how things are deployed. Possible are kubectl, helm and kustomize.

deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
      - src/main/kubernetes/microservice.yaml
