Answer: A tool that customizes Kubernetes YAML through overlays, without templates

Explanation

Kustomize reads plain Kubernetes manifests and a kustomization.yaml, then patches, labels, renames and generates objects to produce the final YAML. There is no templating language, so every input file is valid Kubernetes YAML on its own.
