Automating the Enterprise with Java-based Kubernetes Operators
summary
A Java-based Operator system automates onboarding for nearly a hundred teams across multiple OpenShift clusters by turning requests into Kubernetes Custom Resources and back into real-world objects. Operators include a jenkins operator, gitops-repo operator, deployment-pipeline operator and a coordinating team custom resource that enforces ordering and retries; a Java Operator SDK supports development. The system runs centrally (namespace called caron) and handles multi-cluster API calls, takes ~six months to build, and successfully spins up environments resiliently despite external outages.
