KOM (Kubernetes Operator Manager)

Overview

KOM, which stands for Kubernetes Operator Manager, is an open-source software tool designed to streamline the management of Kubernetes operators. It acts as an operator itself, facilitating the deployment, management, and removal of Kubernetes operators with minimal hassle.

Features

• Git Repository Support: Enables integration with Git repositories to manage operator configurations and their versions effectively.
• Chart Release Mechanism: Incorporates a system for deploying Helm charts, allowing for easy installation and management of Kubernetes applications.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes cluster with Flux 2.x or Argo CD installed: KOM requires a Kubernetes cluster that is already equipped with either Flux version 2.x or Argo CD for GitOps-based management.

Installation

To install KOM on your Kubernetes cluster, follow these steps:

1. Add the KOM Helm repository:

helm repo add kkb0318 https://kkb0318.github.io/kom

1. Install KOM using Helm:

helm install kom kkb0318/kom -n kom-system --create-namespace

This command deploys KOM on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. For more advanced configurations, refer to the Configuration section.

Deploying Your First Operator with KOM

After installing KOM, you can deploy your first operator by following the example manifest provided in the examples/ directory. This will help you understand how to specify the Helm chart URL and version for the operator you wish to deploy.

Future Plans

• Access to Private Repositories: We are planning to enhance KOM’s capabilities by enabling it to access and manage operators from private Git repositories.
