DeveloperWeek 2020

Kubernetes is designed for automation. But when increasing the complexity of the applications it leads to increase in the DevOps burden and increases the likelihood of error. The Operator pattern captures how you can write code to automate a task beyond what Kubernetes itself provides. Operators will combine custom resources and custom controllers. A custom resource is an extension of the Kubernetes API that is not shipped with default Kubernetes installation. Once a custom resource is installed, users can create and access its objects using kubectl, just as they do for built-in resources like Pods.

WSO2 Kubernetes APIM Operator provides fully automated experience on the cloud-native API Management. In this session, Lakmal will share his experience of design and writing a Kubernetes Operator to overcome the complexity of API ecosystem.
