Kubernetes Operators

Kubernetes Operators are specialized software tools that automate the management of complex applications within a Kubernetes environment. They extend Kubernetes’ capabilities by encoding operational knowledge—such as deploying, updating, and maintaining applications—into custom controllers. This allows for more efficient and reliable handling of applications that require specific configurations or routines. Essentially, Operators act like automated experts, ensuring applications run smoothly, adapt to changes, and recover from issues, reducing manual intervention and improving overall system reliability.
