Control and schedule cloud resources using custom Kubernetes operator
Manage your compute instances or explore this as a general example on how a booking system for cloud computing resources could work, using Kubernetes custom resources.
The custom resource operator provides a friendly interface to manage cloud resources through bookings.
We start by grouping our cloud instances under a common tag name, and then creating a custom resource with that tag on our cluster. Once we have resources, we can manage their state through bookings that have a resource name, start, and end time.
Example manifests can be found in the config/samples directory.
To play with the operator against a default local cluster, we first need to install the custom resource definitions:
make install
Start the operator:
make run
📘 For more details on how to use the operator, we highly recommend checking out the documentation.
Tests are still in progress and work only in an environment with configured AWS credentials.
First, make sure to install envtest with:
make envtest
Then running the tests is as simple as:
make test
Kubebuilder is a hard development dependency of the project, so one of the best guides to extending and playing with this codebase is the Kubebuilder book.
