7. Ansible Operators - ansible.com/operators
● What is an Operator?
○ “An Operator is a Kubernetes controller that deploys and manages a
service or application in a cluster. It automates human operation
knowledge and best practices to keep services running and healthy. Input
is received in the form of a custom resource.”
● Ansible?
○ Ansible fits naturally into a Kubernetes workflow, using YAML to describe
the desired state of the world. You can use Ansible to create Operators
with minimal effort. Take a look at the k8s Ansible Module introduced in
Ansible 2.6.
● Operator Framework, Operator SDK… OperatorHub.io
