Kubernetes Operators: Managing Complex Software with Software Josh Wood DocOps
at CoreOS @joshixisjosh9
Overview Scaling Stateless Apps
$ kubectl scale replicas=3 ... ReplicaSet
ReplicaSet
ReplicaSet
None
Overview What about apps that…store data
$ kubectl run db --image=quay.io/my/db Creating a Database is Easy
• Resize/Upgrade - coordination for availability • Reconfigure - tedious
generation / templating • Backup - requires coordination on instances • Healing - restore backups, rejoin Managing a Distributed Database is Harder
If only k8s knew...: Extend Kubernetes
$ cat my-db-cluster.yaml spec: clusterSize: 3 readReplicas: 2 version: v4.0.1
The Goal
Introducing Operators
None
None
etcd Overview • Distributed key-value store • Primary datastore of
Kubernetes • Auto-leader election for availability
Operator Construction • Operators build on Kubernetes concepts • Resources:
who what where ; desired state • Controllers: Observe, Analyze, Act to reconcile resources
Third Party Resources • TPRs extend the Kubernetes API with
new API object types • Akin to a database table’s schema - the data model • Designed with custom automation mechanisms in mind • https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/thirdpartyresources/
$ kubectl create -f https://coreos.com/operators/etcd/latest/deployment.yaml etcd Operator
$ cat deployment.yaml spec: clusterSize: 3 version: v3.1.0 etcd Operator

Prometheus Operator • Operates Prometheus on k8s • Handles common
tasks: ◦ Create/Destroy ◦ Monitor Configuration ◦ Services Targets via Labels • Configured by resources

Prometheus Operator Open-source github.com/coreos/prometheus-operator
• Read more at coreos.com/blog • Test and Extend the
open source Operators • Build and Discuss other Operators (redis, postgres, MySQL) Next Steps
