Creating Operators with Rust
summary
Shows how to build Kubernetes operators in Rust using the Cubarest library, generating CRD JSON via Rust macros and enforcing spec validity at compile time. Demonstrates an async reconcile loop with a match-based enum for create/update/delete and an apply function that makes AI-driven apply calls to ChatGPT to produce outputs, compares Rust to Go SDK and Python options, and reports compiling, auto-creating the CRD, and running on an 8GB VM that returned generated lyrics from the cluster.
