The Status Quo of Kubernetes Operators
summary
A concrete survey of Kubernetes Operators followed by a live implementation that generates a Go operator using the Operator SDK, installs and upgrades it with Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM), and reports usage via Operator Metering. Shows working examples for Kafka and database lifecycle tasks, compares cluster-scoped versus namespace-scoped operators, demonstrates OLM concepts (packages, channels, subscriptions), and runs a quick end-to-end demo including CRD validation, reconciliation, and reporting.
