Extending Kubernetes
Kubernetes Operators
Operators are Kubeneretes Clients that manage Kubernetes CRD.
The operator pattern aims to capture the key aim of a human operator who is managing a service or set of services. Human operators who look after specific applications and services have deep knowledge of how the system ought to behave, how to deploy it, and how to react if there are problems.
Examples:
- Use a Prometheus Operator to manage all needed parts
