Everyone wants their infrastructure to be clearly defined and re-creatable. There are so many great tools which allow us to define our infrastructure in configuration repos and then apply it -with- code. But most of these tools lack the ability to orchestrate complex operations since they can only apply new configuration. They also rarely, if ever work to help your infrastructure seek a desired state automatically. Kubernetes operators allow us to do exactly that, define our infrastructure and seek the state automatically. This takes the idea of infrastructure as code to its logical conclusion and allows engineers to truly commit operational knowledge into code. And, thanks to the Operator SDK project, creating and maintaining a Kubernetes operator is easier than ever!

Carson Anderson will be the presenter.
