LinuxCon + ContainerCon + CloudOpen China 2018

Kubernetes is a container orchestration system that provides a lot of built in functionality to deploy and manage applications using containers. But many types of applications, like stateful applications, require the ability to extend Kubernetes functionality to work in a dynamic environment.

In this talk, attendees will learn the concept of custom resources and how to use them to extend Kubernetes. We will walk through designing an operator for memcached that reacts automatically when memcached clusters change. Attendees will learn about the architecture of operators and how to use the Kubernetes Go client library to begin developing their own operators.
