app-operator

The app-operator manages apps in Kubernetes clusters. It is implemented using operatorkit.

Important

Upon releasing a new version of the project, remember to reference it in the Cluster Apps Operator Helm Chart.

Branches

• master
  • Latest version using Helm 3.
• helm2
  • Legacy support for Helm 2.

app CR

The operator deploys charts hosted in a Helm repository. The app CRs are used to generate chart CRs managed by chart-operator which is our agent for automating deployments with Helm.
