"Operators are a way of packaging, deploying, and managing Kubernetes applications. A Kubernetes application doesnt just run on Kubernetes; its composed and managed in Kubernetes terms. Operators add application-specific operational knowledge to a Kubernetes cluster, making it easier to automate complex, stateful applications and to augment the platform. Operators can coordinate application upgrades seamlessly, react to failures automatically, and streamline repetitive maintenance like backups."margin: -4px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"Think of Operators as site reliability engineers in software. They work extending the Kubernetes control plane and API, helping systems integrators, cluster administrators, and application developers reliably deploy and manage key services and components. Using real-world examples, authors Jason Dobies and Joshua Wood demonstrate how to use Operators today and how to create Operators for your applications with the Operator Framework and SDK.
