Kubernetes Operator Development Training
This training course takes an in-depth look at Kubernetes operator development. It focuses on adding your own APIs to a Kubernetes cluster (via CRDs) and best practices such as unit testing, versioning, and debugging, which we at inovex have learned over the past few years while developing operators for many customer projects.

Description
This training takes an in-depth look at Kubernetes operator development. It covers how to add your own APIs to a Kubernetes cluster (via CRDs) and also best practices like unit testing, versioning, or debugging, which we learned at inovex while developing operators in multiple customer projects in the last couple of years.
After becoming familiar with Kubernetes fundamentals, many developers want to offer services like databases or key/value stores inside a Kubernetes cluster so that they can be configured by other developers using Kubernetes-native configuration mechanisms. The solution Kubernetes offers for this is to write and publish an operator for the service in question.
The training offers a very hands-on approach to this topic: throughout the course, participants develop their own operators (including an operator for MinIO, which offers access to S3-compatible storage) and get to apply all concepts and best practices in real life.
