└── overlays
    ├── dev

    │   ├── kustomization.yaml
    │   └── virtual-service.k8s.yaml
    └── test
        ├── domain-claim.k8s.yaml

        └── virtual-service.k8s.yaml

4 directories, 10 files

If you want to apply manifests for dev environment, you can do:

kubectl apply -k overlays/dev
