Kubebuilder Intro & Deep Dive

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Kubebuilder is an SDK that scaffolds a Go operator project, creates CRD and controller scaffolding and generates manifests via controller-tools and kustomize so the workflow goes from go code to YAML to cluster install. The demo shows a demo.demo.kcd.io v1 custom resource where the controller watches the CR and creates a Pod running nginx and outputs RBAC, CRD YAML and a Makefile with targets for generate build install and docker push. Prereqs are Go, a Kubernetes cluster and optional Docker.
