| Plugin | Key | Description |
|---|---|---|
| go.kubebuilder.io/v2 - (Deprecated) | go/v2 | Golang plugin responsible for scaffolding the legacy layout provided with Kubebuilder CLI >= 2.0.0 and < 3.0.0. |
| go.kubebuilder.io/v3 - (Default scaffold with Kubebuilder init) | go/v3 | Default scaffold used for creating a project when no plugin(s) are provided. Responsible for scaffolding Golang projects and its configurations. |
| go.kubebuilder.io/v4-alpha - (Add Apple Sillicom Support) | go/v4 | Scaffold composite by base.go.kubebuilder.io/v3 and kustomize.common.kubebuilder.io/v2-alpha. Responsible for scaffolding Golang projects and its configurations. |
| declarative.go.kubebuilder.io/v1 | declarative/v1 | Optional plugin used to scaffold APIs/controllers using the kubebuilder-declarative-pattern project. |
| kustomize.common.kubebuilder.io/v1 | kustomize/v1 | Responsible for scaffold all manifests to configure the projects with kustomize(v3). (create and update the config/ directory). This plugin is used in the composition to create the plugin (go/v3). |
| kustomize.common.kubebuilder.io/v2-alpha | kustomize/v2-alpha | It has the same purpose of kustomize/v1. However, it works with kustomize version v4 and addresses the required changes for future kustomize configurations. It will probably be used with the future go/v4-alpha plugin. |
base.go.kubebuilder.io/v3 | base/v3 | Responsible for scaffold all files which specific requires Golang. This plugin is used in the composition to create the plugin (go/v3) |
