✨ Adding the cluster-stack-operator design document
Created by: batistein
We're introducing a design for an operator aimed at enhancing cluster stack usage in Kubernetes. Building on Cluster-API advancements, this operator will streamline cluster operations and elevate user experience.
- Purpose: Facilitate streamlined use of cluster stacks in Kubernetes.
- Integration with Cluster-API: Builds upon Cluster-API advancements for effective cluster operations.
- Component Bundling: Combines fundamental cluster elements, configuration settings, and node images.
- Release Monitoring: Tracks and integrates new releases automatically.
- Management Simplification: Reduces complexity in cluster stack management tasks.
- User Narratives: Provides scenarios of anticipated user-system interactions.
- History and Evolution: Discusses cloud orchestration and cluster stack integration.
- Risk Analysis: Addresses potential challenges, especially for providers integrating the operator.
- Repository Structure: Detailed breakdown for better understanding and development.
- Tool Integration: Uses tools like kubebuilder for CRD validation.
- Cluster Objects Exploration: Deep dive into essential cluster objects and their roles.
- Controller Reconcile Loops: Focuses on precision in release monitoring, especially with auto-subscribe features.
