Kubernetes Operators

Kubernetes Operators extend the Kubernetes API for managing complex stateful applications using custom resources and controllers. An Operator encodes the operational knowledge of a domain expert into software that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of Kubernetes applications.

This event API exposes 5 operations across 5 channels, and defines 6 schemas. It is described by AsyncAPI 2.6.0, at version v1.32.0.

The API connects through a single server, https://kubernetes.default.svc (https).

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Kubernetes Operators, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
