The operator-controller is the central component of Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) v1. It extends Kubernetes with an API through which users can install extensions.
OLM v1 is the follow-up to OLM v0. Its purpose is to provide APIs, controllers, and tooling that support the packaging, distribution, and lifecycling of Kubernetes extensions. It aims to:
- align with Kubernetes designs and user assumptions
- provide secure, high-quality, and predictable user experiences centered around declarative GitOps concepts
- give cluster admins the minimal necessary controls to build their desired cluster architectures and to have ultimate control
OLM v1 consists of two different components:
- operator-controller (this repository)
- catalogd
For a more complete overview of OLM v1 and how it differs from OLM v0, see our overview.
The documentation currently lives at website. The source of the documentation exists in this repository, see docs directory.
