✨ What is Cluster API Operator?

The Cluster API Operator is a Kubernetes Operator designed to empower cluster administrators to handle the lifecycle of Cluster API providers within a management cluster using a declarative approach. It aims to improve user experience in deploying and managing Cluster API, making it easier to handle day-to-day tasks and automate workflows with GitOps.

This operator leverages a declarative API and extends the capabilities of the clusterctl CLI, allowing greater flexibility and configuration options for cluster administrators.

See this document for more details.

🌟 Features

• Offers a declarative API that simplifies the management of Cluster API providers and enables GitOps workflows.
• Facilitates provider upgrades and downgrades making it more convenient for distributed teams and CI pipelines.
• Aims to support air-gapped environments without direct access to GitHub/GitLab.
• Leverages controller-runtime configuration API for a more flexible Cluster API providers setup.
• Provides a transparent and effective way to interact with various Cluster API components on the management cluster.
