Base

The base folder is used for purely layering.

Structure

Here’s an example structure, so we can understand how layering works with the base folder.

.kubes/resources/
├── base
│   ├── all.rb
│   └── deployment.rb
└── web
    ├── deployment.rb
    └── service.rb

Kubes process the files in the base folder first, then it process your role-based resources like web. So:

kubes deploy web deployment

Will layer:

More details on layering can be found in the Layering Docs.

Remember files in the base are used just for layering.
