Benefits of Kubernetes Operators
Below are some benefits of Kubernetes operators
- Kubernetes operators encapsulate best practices and operational processes into Kubernetes-based software.
- Kubernetes extensions that operate on the cluster hosting the managed workload. Operator capabilities include extensive installation and update processes, lifecycle events like backups, restorations, failovers, failbacks, and metrics-driven scalability.
- Kubernetes-driven development focuses on stateless, front-end, and API-centric apps, operators bring the entire stack into the environment. This simplifies configuration and maintenance, as Kubernetes becomes an important portability component for IT and engineers.
- Operators also improve uptime and cheaper operational labor by automatically correcting configuration drift. Because this can be accomplished using Kubernetes’ extension capabilities, the approach is platform agnostic and driven by the Kubernetes community.
