Language Server Settings

yaml.schemas: The entrance point for new schema.

yaml.schemas: {
    "url": "globPattern",
    "kedge": "globPattern",
    "kubernetes": "globPattern"
}

kedge and kubernetes are optional fields. They do not require a url as the language server will provide that. You just need the key word kedge/kubernetes and a glob pattern.
