The Operator pattern for custom Kubernetes controllers extends the platform to automate the management of stateful, complex applications -- think databases, file stores, and other critical components that often have their own notions of clustering. Operators provide a philosophy and a toolkit for extending Kubernetes orchestration to this class of application, as well as, recursively, mechanisms for managing the lifecycle of the Kubernetes platform itself. This talk, a freestyle rap based on a rejected Kubecon proposal, will examine and demo Kubernetes Operators and make you want to use Operators and write one for your own application.
