Backplane Operator

Operator for managing installation of Backplane components

Prerequisites

• Go v1.22.4+
• kubectl 1.19+
• Operator-sdk v1.17.0+
• Docker or Podman
• Connection to an existing Kubernetes cluster

Installation

Before deploying, the CRDs need to be installed onto the cluster.

make install

Outside the Cluster

The operator can be run locally against the configured Kubernetes cluster in ~/.kube/config with the following command:

make run

Inside the Cluster

The operator can also run inside the cluster as a Deployment. To do that first build the container image and push to an accessible image registry:

1. Build the image:

   make docker-build IMG=<registry>/<imagename>:<tag>
   # or
   make podman-build IMG=<registry>/<imagename>:<tag>

2. Push the image:

   make docker-push IMG=<registry>/<imagename>:<tag>
   # or
   make podman-push IMG=<registry>/<imagename>:<tag>

3. Deploy the Operator:

   make deploy IMG=<registry>/<imagename>:<tag>
