The Operator can be added in 3 phases:

• helm operator (based on helm: update to latest ibm-skydive-dev chart #1963)
• ansible operator
• go operator

I finally found time to convert the HELM charts to a HELM based operator. I created a directory called operator under the contrib folder. I will create a PR shortly. One question. Do you want me to build a docker image and push it to dockerhub to live with the other skydive images out there?

Based on priority I will not have time to get the operator into operatorhub.io. There are instructions here if someone wants to pick up that task

Also there is good information here that the team has harvested when learning about operators

i would be happy to see current PR and based on that discuss changes ..

I tried to push to the repo but I get the following error:

remote: Permission to skydive-project/skydive.git denied to alericks21.

If you could give the id permission I can push or I could zip up the project and email it to you.

Thoughts?

@alericks21 You need to fork the Github Skydive project by clicking on "Fork" button on https://github.com/skydive-project/skydive
After that, you should be able to do :

git remote add alericks21 [email protected]:alericks21/skydive.git
git push alericks21 [name of your branch]

The output of the git push command should return an URL to create a Pull Request.

You also need to upload your SSH public key on your Github account

You can test the operator by either logging into a cluster and do a:
"operator-sdk up local"

or it can actually be deployed to a cluster:

Setup Service Account

$ kubectl create -f deploy/service_account.yaml

Setup RBAC

$ kubectl create -f deploy/role.yaml
$ kubectl create -f deploy/role_binding.yaml

Setup the CRD

$ kubectl create -f deploy/crds/charts_v1alpha1_skydive_crd.yaml

Deploy the app-operator

$ kubectl create -f deploy/operator.yaml

Create an AppService CR

The default controller will watch for AppService objects and create a pod for each CR

$ kubectl create -f deploy/crds/charts_v1alpha1_skydive_cr.yaml
