Introduction to Operators

An Operator is a method of packaging, deploying and managing a Kubernetes application. A Kubernetes application is an application that is both deployed on Kubernetes and managed using the Kubernetes APIs and kubectl/oc tooling. You can think of Operators as the runtime that manages this type of application on Kubernetes.

Distributing Operators

As a partner, there are three places where you can contribute an operator, each with a different publishing endpoint:

  • Certified Operators - submitted through Red Hat Connect - listed in OpenShift OperatorHub
  • Community Operators - submitted through GitHub - listed in both OpenShift and OKD OperatorHub
  • Upstream Community Operators - also submitted through GitHub - listed in the OperatorHub.io community website

Operator Technical Track

The Operator technical track is a set of curated resources to guide you through learning what Operators are, how to develop an Operator, and how to certify and upgrade your Operators.
