Deploy the Score specification for a multi-container workload to a local Kubernetes cluster using score-k8s and patch the generated manifests with a Kustomize overlay
Write a score.yaml defining two containers (e.g., an API and a worker), shared resources (a queue and a database), and environment variable mappings from resource outputs
Run 'score-k8s init' in the project directory to initialize the Score state directory and default provisioners for local Kubernetes resource simulation
Run 'score-k8s generate score.yaml' to produce Kubernetes manifests (Deployment, Service, ConfigMap) in the '.score-k8s/manifests' output directory
Create a Kustomize overlay referencing the generated manifests directory as a resource and add strategic merge patches to customize replica counts, add annotations, or override image tags for the target environment
Apply the combined output with 'kubectl apply -k <overlay-directory>' and verify the workload runs correctly with resource outputs injected as environment variables
Known gotchas
score-k8s generates manifests deterministically from the Score spec and provisioner outputs; re-running generate overwrites previous output, so any manual edits to generated files will be lost
Local provisioners simulate resource outputs with static placeholder values; deploying to a real cluster requires configuring provisioners that return actual connection strings and credentials
The Score spec does not model Kubernetes-specific constructs like ingress or HPA; these must be added via the Kustomize overlay or a post-generation patch rather than in the Score file itself
