  • SpinKube: Orchestrating light, fast and efficient WebAssembly (Wasm) workloads in Kubernetes (k8s)
    5 projects | dev.to | 14 Mar 2024
    The Spin operator uses the Kubebuilder framework and contains a Spin App Custom Resource Definition (CRD) and controller. It watches Spin App Custom Resources and realizes the desired state in the K8s cluster. Aside from the immediate benefits gained by running Wasm workloads in k8s, additional optimizations such as Horizontal Pod Scaling (HPA) and k8s Event-driven Autoscaling (KEDA) can be achieved in a pinch.

    The operator that I've been working on is designed to manage the full lifecycle of a QuestDB database instance, including version and hardware upgrades, config changes, backups, and (eventually) recovery from node failure. I used the Operator SDK and kubebuilder frameworks to provide scaffolding and API support.
  • Kubebuilder Tips and Tricks
    2 projects | dev.to | 22 Aug 2023
    Recently, I've been spending a lot of time writing a Kubernetes operator using the go operator-sdk, which is built on top of the Kubebuilder framework. This is a list of a few tips and tricks that I've compiled over the past few months working with these frameworks.
  • We moved our Cloud operations to a Kubernetes Operator
    3 projects | dev.to | 15 Aug 2023
    Since we built our operator using the Kubebuilder framework, most standard monitoring tasks were handled for us out-of-the-box. Our operator automatically exposes a rich set of Prometheus metrics that measure reconciliation performance, the number of k8s API calls, workqueue statistics, and memory-related metrics. We we were able to ingest these metrics into pre-built dashboards by leveraging the grafana/v1-alpha plugin, which scaffolds two Grafana dashboards to monitor Operator resource usage and performance. All we had to do was add these to our existing Grafana manifests and we were good to go!
  • Has anyone ever tried to learn how k8s works?

    I wrote a CSI driver and some operators. I admire K8s, because you can find solution to almost any problem in the source code - API versioning, load balancing, request throttling, optimistic concurrency, security, and much much more. I recommend https://book.kubebuilder.io/ It is similar to Operator SDK, but without Openshift-specific stuff. It gradually introduces you to many k8s concepts, and follows design patterns that k8s uses internally.

  • Writing a Kubernetes Operator

    A better way to write an operator these days is to use kubebuilder [1].

    My complaint is that I have seen orgs write operators for random stuff, often reinventing the wheel. Lot of operators in orgs are result of resume driven development. Having said that it often comes handy for complex orchestration.
