About this repository

This repo is the canonical source for Kubernetes Operators that appear on OperatorHub.io, OpenShift Container Platform and OKD.

Know what to contribute

To add your operator to any of the above platforms, you will need to submit a PR with your Operator packaged for use with Operator Lifecycle Manager. This package contains all of the Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), access control rules and references to the container image needed to install and securely run your Operator, plus other info like a description of its features and supported Kubernetes versions. Follow this guide to create an OLM-compatible CSV for your operator, CRDs, and the package.yaml file for your operator.

An Operator's CSV must contain the annotations mentioned here for it to be displayed properly within the various platforms.

Your PR needs to be formatted as a bundle which is a directory named after your Operator with all CustomResourceDefinitions, the ClusterServiceVersion and package definitons in separate YAML manifests like so:

$ ls my-operator/
my-operator.v1.0.0.clusterserviceversion.yaml
my-operator-crd1.crd.yaml
my-operator-crd2.crd.yaml
my-operator.package.yaml

Please note that the directory name should match the packageName of your operator in it's package.yaml, and should be used as a prefix for all files in the bundle. Please follow the conventions of the example above.

Where to contribute

There are 2 directories where you can contribute, depending on a set of requirements:

Target Directory Type of Operators Target Platform Requirements
community-operators Community OpenShift Operators OpenShift / OKD needs to work on OpenShift 3.11 or newer
upstream-community-operators Community Kubernetes Operators Kubernetes / OperatorHub.io needs to work on Kubernetes 1.7 or newer

The column Target Platform denotes where this Operator will be visible (embedded OperatorHub in OpenShift and OKD, or OperatorHub.io for Kubernetes) and where it's intended to run.

For partners and ISVs, certified operators can now be submitted via connect.redhat.com

If you Operator works on both Kubernetes and OpenShift, place a copy of your bundle in the upstream-community-operators directory, as well as the community-operators directory.

Note that OpenShift and OKD clusters by default come with access to operators from community-operators, certified operators, and additional Red Hat operators. Please keep this in mind when submitting operators, as duplicate operators between these sources will not be tolerated.

Before submitting a PR

Test your Operator

Upon creating a pull request against this repo, a set of CI pipelines will run, see more details here.

You can help speed up the review of your PR by testing manually.

Verify your Operator Metadata

The maintainers will work with you to make sure your Operator has the required metadata to function properly and be displayed with useful information for the end user.

You can help us with that by validating your bundle with operator-courier. This tool will check against the required fields in your CSV.

operator-courier verify --ui_validate_io path/to/bundle

Preview your Operator on OperatorHub.io

If you are submitting your Operator in the upstream-community-operators directory your Operator will appear on OperatorHub.io. You can preview how your Operator would be rendered there by using this tool: https://operatorhub.io/preview

Updating your Operator

Similarly, to update your operator you need to submit a PR with any changes to your Operator resources. Within your CSV, add the additional replaces: my-operator.v1.0.0 parameter which indicates that existing installations of your Operator may be upgraded seamlessly to the new version. It is encouraged to use continuous delivery to update your Operator often as new features are added and bugs are fixed.

Operator CI Pipeline

New Operator PRs are automatically checked for required fields using the operator-courier and are run through a operator-sdk scorecard test against a live cluster. PRs are also reviewed manually by the maintainers to ensure that the automated tests are running smoothly and that Operators with additional setup can be verified.

You can learn more about the tests run on submitted Operators in this doc
