Automation

Learn how to create Kubernetes operators, a powerful way to automate tasks and manage complex software, with practical examples and insights.

Key takeaways

Kubernetes operators are a way to automate day-to-day tasks, just like a human operator would.
They can be used to operate any software, but are tailored to a specific software.
Operators are useful for complex software with many moving parts.
They can be written in any language, but the operator framework provides SDKs for JavaScript, Go, and Java.
To build an operator, you need to define a custom resource definition (CRD) and a controller.
The controller watches for changes in the cluster and makes sure the desired state is achieved.
Operators can be used to manage external resources, such as databases.
They can also be used to manage resources that are outside of the cluster, such as monitors.
Kubernetes operators are becoming more popular, with many large companies using them.
You can use operators to manage your Kubernetes clusters resources that are outside of the cluster.
Operators can be used to manage complex infrastructure, such as Kafka clusters.
They can also be used to manage simpler infrastructure, such as PostgreSQL databases.
Operators are useful for automating backups and other mundane tasks.
They can also be used to automate more complex tasks, such as sharding and scaling.
Operators can be extended to add new functionality.
They are a way to extend the Kubernetes API.
Operators can be used to create new resources and controllers.
They can also be used to manage existing resources and controllers.
Operators are used by many companies, including OVH and Aurelie.
They are a popular choice for managing Kubernetes clusters.
Operators can be used to manage complex applications, such as data products.
