Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2018

In this presentation, we will explain what the Operator Framework is and why you should be using it to build your applications. We will show you how to leverage the Kubernetes control loop to bring automated operations to your applications allowing them to be easily installed, scaled, upgraded, backed up and monitored in K8s. We will teach how to extend Kubernetes with Custom Resource Definitions and custom Controllers allowing you to dynamically execute SRE functions against your application. Finally, we will introduce you to the Operator Lifecycle Manager which allows you to install, manage and upgrade your operators and their dependencies. After this presentation, attendees will have a solid understanding of the Operator Framework and how they can leverage it to build Kubernetes native application.
