Course details
Kubernetes is a powerful and popular platform, but managing Kubernetes can be difficult, and performing routine operations and repeated tasks can be tedious and error prone. The Kubernetes operator pattern allows an SRE, developer, or operator to build complex provisioning and management tasks directly into the Kubernetes API, allowing you to build repeatable and efficient operation routines. This course with Frank P Moley III explores what it takes to build an operator and utilize it to make the management of K8s more efficient. If you’re looking for ways to save time on routine and repeated actions so you can spend more time building your platform, join Frank as he shows you how to implement your own operator.
