05 Creating and Running Kubernetes Operators with the Operator Framework
summary
Explains how the Operator Framework lets clusters run packaged, self-updating controllers: use the Operator SDK to scaffold operators from Helm charts, Ansible playbooks or Go code; use the Operator Lifecycle Manager as an in-cluster package manager with catalogs, subscriptions and strict RBAC; OperatorHub publishes ~74 ready packages; operators cover lifecycle phases 1–5 (install → full autopilot), support dependency resolution, minikube testing, and include SDK linting and upgrade-path guarantees.
