Ryan Jarvinen, Red Hat
Learn how to extend Kubernetes to include your own custom operational tactics and container-management best practices, using the Kubernetes "Operator" pattern!
Operators feel like native features to Kubernetes end-users because they use Custom Resource Definitions, API Aggregation, and Custom Controllers to extend the basic platform APIs, allowing complicated solutions to be managed using simple declarative resource specifications.
This session provides architectural overviews, implementation patterns, and a look at a few popular solutions from this space.
Bring a laptop to follow along as we learn to extend Kubernetes through a series of hands-on, interactive training scenarios!
