Extending Kubernetes 101 [A] - Travis Nielsen, Quantum Corp

Kubernetes provides the ability to extend the platform with your own custom types and controllers. We will walk through a tutorial to write a custom controller, also known as an operator. Patterns will be reviewed that will make your application a natural extension of the platform through CRDs and desired state management, all with the same security, lifecycle management, and API surface that native Kubernetes applications expect.
