Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs)

Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are a way in Kubernetes, a popular container orchestration platform, to extend its capabilities by allowing users to define their own types of resources. Think of it as creating a new category in a library — you can add books that fit your specific needs, beyond the standard genres. With CRDs, developers can manage and interact with these new resource types just like they would with built-in ones, enabling tailored applications and workflows that match their unique requirements while maintaining the flexibility and power of Kubernetes.
