Overview
This project is a component of the Operator Framework, an
open source toolkit to manage Kubernetes native applications, called
Operators, in an effective, automated, and scalable way. Read more in
the introduction blog post.
Operators make it easy to manage complex stateful
applications on top of Kubernetes. However writing an Operator today can
be difficult because of challenges such as using low level APIs, writing
boilerplate, and a lack of modularity which leads to duplication.
The Operator SDK is a framework that uses the
controller-runtime library to make writing
operators easier by providing:
- High level APIs and abstractions to write the operational logic more intuitively
- Tools for scaffolding and code generation to bootstrap a new project fast
- Extensions to cover common Operator use cases
Go version
Release binaries will be built with the Go compiler version specified in the developer guide.
A Go Operator project's Go version can be found in its go.mod
file.
Kubernetes versions
Supported Kubernetes versions for your Operator project or relevant binary can be determined
by following this compatibility guide.
The set of supported platforms for all binaries and images can be found in these tables.
